In this work package, we aimed to provide infrastructure for translation and interpretation research, both in machine translation and in translation studies, by enhancing our access to remote video data repositories. During the project, we focused on improving our access to the Parliament of Finland.
With the cooperation of the Finnish Parliament, we deepened our understanding of the Parliament API. We published a source version of a dataset containing speeches from plenary sessions from 2015 to 2023: urn:nbn:fi:lb-2024071601. Currently, the Korp version of the resource is being prepared in the Language Bank of Finland (LBF) resource publishing pipeline under urn:nbn:fi:lb-2024102501. The original metadata includes timestamps, which will enable direct links from the Korp service to the video material available on the Parliament servers. The Korp version will contain approximately 7,000,000 tokens corresponding to about 4,500 hours of video data.
FIN-CLARIAH project has received funding from the European Union – NextGenerationEU instrument and is funded by the Research Council of Finland under grant number 358720.
