Abstract
LeiLanD (Leiden Language Data) is a searchable catalogue initiated by the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL) with the support of CLARIAH. The catalogue contains metadata about language datasets collected at LUCL and other institutes of Leiden University. This paper describes a project to FAIRify the datasets increasing their findability and accessibility through a standardised metadata format CMDI so as to obtain a rich metadata description for all resources and to make them findable through CLARIN’s Virtual Language Observatory. The paper describes the creation of the catalogue and the steps that led from unstructured metadata to CMDI standards. This FAIRifi- cation of LeiLanD has enhanced the findability and accessibility of incredibly diverse collection of language datasets.- Anthology ID:
