CLARIN Annual Conference 2026

As part of the conference, the following contribution will be delivered:

Poster: The OSTrails Project (2024-2027)

Description: This poster presents work pursued in the EU-funded project OSTrails (ostrails.eu), in which several CLARIN nodes participate as beneficiary.  OSTrails will deliver methods, tools, services, guidance and training necessary for putting the FAIR principles into practice.  OSTrails aims to contribute to the streamlining of data FAIRness, service interoperability and machine actionability across the various stages of research, in particular planning, tracking and assessing. The overall goal is to improve and extend existing infrastructural  ecosystems and to align them with EOSC.

A major focus is on the development of an interoperability framework (IF) for Scientific Knowledge Graphs (SKGs). The SKG-IF  is envisaged to facilitate the discoverability and interoperability of research products and infrastructures. Several national pilots and thematic pilots (covering all science domains) are part of the project work plan. The CLARIN thematic pilot focusses on offering the metadata available via the VLO, to machines, via the OSTrails API for the SKG-IF.

Target Audience: Researchers, librarians/repository managers, project coordinators/managers, and specific end-user communities.

Date & Time: September 30, 2026, 17:35 – 19:00

Authors: Franciska de Jong, Thalassia Kontino, Iulianna van der Lek, and Menzo Windhouwer (CLARIN ERIC)
