Linguistics / Language Bank (in Finnish)

The Language Bank of Finland

The Multiplicity of Services

The Language Bank of Finland is a multiplicity of services maintained by CSC. It comprises many parts:

1. Linguistic research material and software accessible directly though the Language Bank of Finland services
2. User interfaces available at the CSC Scientist's User Interface at https://hotpage.csc.fi/
3. A UNIX-based corpus server (corpus.csc.fi) devoted for language resources and language tools
4. Subsections of corpus.csc.fi containing autonomous corpus servers that are implemented on behalf of their respective owners by CSC under service agreements.

Use and Support

Using to the Language Bank requires sufficient access rights that are granted to individuals on the basis of an application form for the Language Bank of Finland. In addition to the Language Bank, new users may also need additional computing facilities at CSC, in which case they must also send an appication form for CSC computers to CSC.

CSC is currently testing an open wiki-based collaboration and support environment for language technology. This environment is temporarily located at http://forums.csc.fi/kitwiki. The service contains e.g a database of helpdesk questions and answers.

Relevant contact information is provided for the case of questions and need for further support.
