Format Recommendations

This page presents formats of data depositions that various CLARIN centres are ready to accept. Each format, for each centre, can be "recommended", "acceptable" or "discouraged" in the context of several domains that represent the functions that the deposited data can play. The level of recommendation should always be viewed as relative to the profile of the given centre.

  • "recommended" should be interpreted as meaning that the centre in question will in most cases be able to process the data without much manipulation and that it is likely that the data will be preserved long-term in that format (the specifics are up to that centre);
  • "acceptable" should be interpreted as meaning that the centre may need to spend some time and resources on the up-conversion of the data, and that the data may be preserved in one of the recommended formats instead;
  • "discouraged" should be understood as indicating that the centre may find it problematic to up-convert the data.

Use the dropboxes to select the particular domain, centre, and/or level of recommendation. Columns can be sorted, and your results can be downloaded as XML.

The exported XML files for a specified centre can be used to extend or modify the recommendations for that centre, by an authorised person. In order to aid in the process, please consult the separate lists of all available file formats and of the functional groupings of formats (functional domains).

As of mid-2022, not every centre with depositing services has submitted the information to the SIS; in some cases, the information had to be unreliably mapped from lists provided on centre homepages onto the feature matrix offered by the SIS (created on the basis of the SIS functional domains and levels of recommendation). If you think you see an error, please kindly help us get it right, by posting an issue or editing the source.
