Abstract
The CLARIN Metadata Infrastructure (CMDI) provides a solution for access to different types of language resources and tools across Europe. Researchers have different research data and tools, which are large-scale and described differently with domain-specific metadata. In the context of the Search & Develop (S&D) project at the Meertens Institute within CLARIN, we present a system description of an advanced search engine that semantically converges differently structured metadata records based on CMDI for search and retrieval. It allows different groups of users – such as language researchers – to search across yet unexplored research data and locate relevant data for new insights, and find existing tools that could provide novel use cases.
