The Technical Development team at the Meertens Institute works to make advances in technology available to researchers and make collections accessible to the research community. They provide technical support and application development. Current projects that help provide a technological basis include CLARIN, Nederlab, crowd sourcing projects, and CLARIAH. These projects aim to make language resources and technology available through infrastructure and bring together digitized texts relevant to Dutch heritage and history.

Note: includes linguistic enrichments and data cleanup •CLARIN –create an infrastructure which makes language resources (annotated recordings, texts, lexica, ontologies) and technology (speech recognizers, lemmatizers, parsers, summarizers, information extractors) available and readily usable to scholars of all disciplines, in particular the Humanities and Social Sciences. •Nederlab –bring together all digitized texts relevant to our national heritage, the history of Dutch language and culture (c. 800 - present) in one user-friendly and tool-enriched open access web interface, allowing scholars to simultaneously search and analyse data from texts spanning the full recorded history of the Netherlands, its language and culture. •Crowd sourcing projects –unlock inaccessible data through cooperation with volunteers. •E.g. Sailing letters, Soundtol registers, KB newspaper archive, Meertens’ questionnaires •CLARIAH –Starts January 1st 2015
