digital databases

The IP CAS researchers have created numerous databases and corpora that cover a broad spectrum of disciplines from classical and medieval studies to bibliographical data or corpora dedicated to significant Czech philosophers (e.g. Comenius or Jan Patočka). The databases are accessible at no charge on the internet. Selected databases are included in the newly-formed large research infrastructure LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ since 2019. LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ resources form a distributed national node of the pan-European DARIAH-EU network for digital humanities.
