Code Repository for the Language Resource Switchboard.

The implementation is based upon reactjs and related packages. It contains a standalone upload site, where users can drag&drop their language resource(s). Each resource can be associated with a mimetype (detected during file drop) or edited by the user thereafter, and a language code (iso 639-3). The demo upload site depicts each language resource with all relevant information, the user can then ask the switchboard to display all tools capable of processing the resource in question. Clicking on a tool icon opens the tool in a new tab. All relevant information (link to the resource, language code, mimetype etc.) is encoded in the URL used to invoke the tool.

• production version: https://switchboard.clarin.eu
• beta version: https://beta-switchboard.clarin.eu/
• alpha/development version: https://switchboard.clarin-dev.eu/switchboard-test/

The software is currently being developed and actively maintained.

For more technical details, see the Switchboard specification in the Publications section. For a general overview with the latest published update, see the Computational Linguistics paper in the Publications section (last entry).

There is also a github repository holding documentation.

The information about the tools that are connected to the Switchboard is maintained in a separate github repository. Suggestions about new tools or about improved descriptions can be filed as a tool registry issue.
