Organisation

The CLARIN Knowledge Centre for Swedish in a Multilingual Setting (CLARIN-SMS) offers expertise in linguistic processing of text, especially for Swedish and/or when multiple languages are involved. In addition, CLARIN-SMS offers expertise in the application of language technology to Swedish Sign Language.

The Swedish National Archives are responsible for regulating and maintaining information created in the Swedish public sector. Aside from preserving and granting access to documents from the last one thousand years, the agency also writes regulation regarding archival care and appraisal, and conducts inspections to see that the policies are upheld within the public sector. Hence the Swedish National Archives is an agency working with both cultural heritage and governmental administration.

The National Library of Sweden (Kungliga biblioteket) is both a library and a government agency. We collect, preserve and make available almost everything that is published in Sweden – from manuscripts, books and newspapers to music, TV programs and pictures.

The National Library is a Government Authority under the ambit of the Ministry of Education.

The Gothenburg Research Infrastructure in Digital Humanities (GRIDH) promotes research, education and cooperation related to digital phenomena and/or the use of digital methods. GRIDH's research interests span over three areas:

The Clarin K-centre for Diachronic Language Resources (DiaRes) is focused around diachronic text collections, and as a special case of these, historical texts, as well as tools and resources for processing and analysing these.

Språkbanken Speech comprises a K-centre with a focus on speech analysis. The CLARIN Knowledge Centre for Speech Analysis, CLARIN SPEECH, provides expertise in the collection, processing, annotation and exploitation of large multimodal speech corpora.

As a K-centre, Lund University Humanities Lab provides advice on multimodal and sensor-based methods, including EEG, eye-tracking, articulography, virtual reality, motion capture and audio and video recording. We are also a collaborator in various projects.
