What type of collaborators does Euskorpora need?

Collaborations must be numerous and varied. We need companies from different value chains (industry, energy, health, food, etc.),
public institutions (justice, health, education, etc.), agents from the Basque network specializing in R&D&I (universities, technology centers, etc.), labeling and transcription companies, AI model development companies, translation companies, dissemination agents, and more.

What does creating a digital corpus from specialized content entail?

A digital corpus is a structured collection of texts—written, oral, or multimodal—in digital format. Creating one requires gathering data from various sources (science, law, health, industry, etc.). Once the data is obtained and converted to standard formats, it must be tagged, metadata (date, author, source), and linguistic annotations added. When the texts are properly tagged, a catalog is created where the data is classified by thematic categories, tags, relationships between texts, and so on. All of this is done with the appropriate permissions that respect intellectual property rights, privacy, and anonymization.
