CLARIN.SI – Slovene Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure – is the Slovene national node of the European CLARIN infrastructure. The main goal of the CLARIN infrastructure is to support research activities in the Humanities and Social Sciences. CLARIN.SI is serving researchers from the fields of Computer and Corpus Linguistics, and Digital Humanities, as well as interested individuals from other scientific and business areas that use and produce language data.
The Institute of Contemporary History (ICH) is the central national institution for historiographical research of the period form 19th century to today. The Institute is one of the most important institutions in the Digital Humanities in Slovenia, and is the national coordinating institution for DARIAH-SL, a member of DARIAH ERIC.
One of the three research programmes of the Institute is the Research Infrastructure of the Slovenian Historiography, which is maintaining the SIstory Web portal of Slovenian Historiography. The RI performs digitisation of material of historic importance and management of digitally born content. Another task is online publishing of basic sources for historiographical research and literature from the field, regardless of its form or format, thus not limited only to textual sources. Since textual files represent the majority of its digital archival holdings, the focus is given to advanced text mark-up, using the TEI Guidelines and relevant XML technologies. Large textual corpora are being created following this process, based mainly on the stenographical minutes of different Slovene legislative bodies
ICH was one of the founding members of CLARIN.SI and contributes to CLARIN primarily through making available its large and richly encoded text collections of recent Slovenian historical sources and as being the primary liason to DARIAH(-SI).
