Laudatio Repository

Institution: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Category: Project
Website: https://www.laudatio-repository.org/

Short Description

The service provides access to metadata of linguistic corpora, documents, and annotations via a REST API. Target users are researchers and academic staff at universities working with structured text data. The main benefit lies in standardized, programmatic querying and analysis of corpus content, particularly for computer-assisted language research. The API enables integration into research workflows and the use of corpus data in academic projects.
