Applying FAIR Data Principles in Corpus Linguistics
Workshop at CL2025

University of Birmingham, Edgbaston
Megan Bushnell, Francesca Frontini, Iulianna van der Lek, Giulia Pedonese, Alexander König, Martin Wynne
CLARIN will organize a pre-conference workshop at the Corpus Linguistics 2025 conference on the topic of applying FAIR principles in corpus linguistics. The 3-hour workshop will be delivered by CLARIN experts from Italy, UK and the central hub, and will aim to help participants identify the requirements for a resource to align with the FAIR and CARE principles, as well as a hands-on session to create the outline of a research data management plan.
This workshop will show participants how to incorporate the FAIR and CARE principles into their corpus linguistics research projects. The programme will consist of theoretical and hands-on exercises, including services and tools from CLARIN, a European Research Infrastructure for language as social and cultural data. Through a combination of theoretical principles, hands-on activities and case studies, the participants will learn how to identify the requirements for a linguistic resource (e.g. a linguistic corpus) to align with the FAIR and CARE principles and apply them in their research workflow.
There will also be guidance and discussion on how to identify certified research data repositories for data collection, sharing and archiving. Please note that the pre-conference workshop is planned to take place at the campus of the University of Birmingham in Edgbaston, while the main conference will take place at Aston University in Birmingham.
