One of the primary objectives of the CORLI CLARIN K Centre is facilitate collaboration among researchers in the field of language sciences. The center aims to foster the development of projects that might be beyond the scope of individual researchers and to provide access to cutting-edge digital tools that enhance their scientific endeavors. These tasks are achieved by providing support and training in the utilization of modern digital tools designed for tasks such as corpus creation, annotation and data analysis. However, there are instances where the existing tools prove insufficient for the demands of language research. This can occur when these tools lack necessary functionalities, are unavailable in the required format or do not align with specific research needs. In light of these challenges, we will introduce two ongoing projects within CORLI that are focused on bridging the gap between researchers, technology and data: § Open French Corpus: A centralized platform for accessing and utilizing existing corpora with shared tools. § Collaborative annotation: use and improve existing tools; connect researchers, educators and students; develop a collaborative resource.
