Laudatio Repository
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 academics at universities working with structured text data. The main benefit lies in standardized, programmatic querying and analysis of corpus content, particularly for digital linguistics. The API enables integration into research workflows and the use of annotations for linguistic analyses.
