Corpora

These are spoken language corpora making transcripts available in the standard.

• The EXMARaLDA demo corpus will have short examples of ISO/TEI transcripts in eight languages.
• The Oral-History.Digital (OHD) portal provides transcripts from its oral history archive in the ISO/TEI format. This is one of the results of the Text+oh.d cooperation project.
• Many of the corpora of the Archive for Spoken German have been transformed to an ISO/TEI version for inclusion in the archive's ZuMult instance
• For the corpus Enquêtes Sociolinguistiques à Orléans (ELSO), ISO/TEI versions of the transcripts were generated for inclusion in the project's ZuMult platform.
• The language documentation project INEL provides ISO/TEI transcriptions for the spoken data of all of its corpora.
• Version 1.1 of the Training corpus of spoken Slovenian ROG has ISO/TEI versions of all transcripts.
• Transcripts of the narrative tasks of the Equatorial Guinea Spanish corpus have been deposited on LaRS@SWISSUbase.
• The TIGR corpus of spoken Italian contains ISO/TEI transcripts of its data. The corpus will be deposited with LaRS@SWISSUbase.
• Transcripts of two corpora from the Texas German Dialect Project were converted to ISO/TEI for inclusion into the project's ZuMult platform.
• The transcripts of five collections from the DOBES archive were converted to ISO/TEI for inclusion in the repository of the Institute for the German Language .
