The Fin-CLARIAH Roadshow at the University of Oulu will bring together researchers and infrastructure specialists working on metadata, language resources, and research infrastructures for the humanities and social sciences. The event focuses particularly on metadata practices and interoperability in an era increasingly shaped by large language models, machine-readable corpora, and AI-assisted research workflows.
