With the motto “Let your texts work for you”, the IULA-UPF CLARIN Competence Center aims to promote and support the use of technology and text analysis tools in the Humanities and Social Sciences research.
Let your texts work for you !
"precisely because machines sort and provide to us all of the data that we ask of them, we should dedicate a good part of the time saved, which was previously dedicated to obtaining data, to its analysis". Ignacio Bosque, director of the REDES dictionary.

Objective
The IULA-UPF-CC-CLARIN aims to provide specialized web services to the Humanities and Social Science research communities as part of the European Infrastructure CLARIN. Our Competence Center is a recognized C-Center of the Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure CLARIN ERIC (www.clarin.eu). Our web services are basic tools that can handle and exploit textual data, which is one of the most important sources of information for many HSC disciplines.
Documentation center
To promote the use of language technology to researches of Humanities and Social Sciences, the center includes a Catalogue which manages, disseminates and provides access to technological tools.
The Catalogue follows the linked open data approach (LOD). This allows to search and link resources from different sources (internal and external). You can access the catalogue here lod.iula.upf.edu.
