Accessing Suitable Data in CLARIN-D
To make use of a resource, or a part thereof, you need to first find it. The data that can be searched for comes in diverse forms and the CLARIN centres offer the possibility to retrieve data in three ways. First, there is the CLARIN Virtual Language Observatory (VLO), which helps identifying a resource in its entirety. Second, there is the Federated Content Search (FCS) which offers a string-based search access to resources, and also retrieves the citation information for the resource. Third, there are a number of resource-specific portals with purpose-built, easy-to-use access methods for browsing the resources' structures and content. Below you can find direct access to VLO, FCS and several other resources within CLARIN.
