VOICE CLARIAH Project

  • About VOICE CLARIAH

    The main aim of the VOICE CLARIAH project is to update and enhance the web interface of VOICE (Vienna-Oxford International Corpus of English) in order to ensure its long-term availability as an open-access resource for the description of spoken English as a lingua franca (ELF) to researchers worldwide. The project updates and improves the system architecture behind VOICE Online, relying on VOICE XML and VOICE POS XML, to support the existing online applications of the corpus with new tools. A second goal is to integrate VOICE into the CLARIAH-AT infrastructure to guarantee continued and stable access for corpus users.

  • Project Team

    The VOICE CLARIAH project is a co-operation between the the Austrian Centre of Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage (ACDH-CH) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and Department of English and American Studies of the University of Vienna. The group of researchers working on the integration of VOICE into the CLARIAH-AT infrastructure and the development of the new VOICE Online web interface is committed to ensure the continued, updated, open-access and user-friendly availability of VOICE data for international scholars.
