He made foundational contributions in natural language processing, machine translation technologies, historical language resources, and multilingual corpora which align strongly with CLARIN’s mission of making language data accessible, interoperable, and reusable.

Those who knew Martin personally will always remember his subtle humor, sincere interest in people, passionate teaching and constant support for his colleagues and students. Martin cared not only about people, but also about the sustainability of the language resources created. Two years before retiring scheduled for summer 2025, Martin contacted CLARIN-CH to ask for support to archive in a FAIR-compliant manner all various corpora produced in his projects. Martin, thank you for the person, the researcher, the colleague and the teacher you have been. You will be deeply missed.

Exploring SLV urls
Source: Tim Sherratt |
Reading time: 4 minutes
I like urls. They take you places. And if you know how to read them, they can tell you things about the systems that created them.
One of the first things I did when I started my residency at SLV LAB, was to try and understand how their collection urls work. There’s a couple of well-worn methods I use when digging into a new site.
The first is url hacking – this involves fiddling around with the parameters in a url and submitting the result to see what happens. The Trove Data Guide includes some examples of hacking Trove urls to change the delivery of search results.
The second method involves opening up the developer console in your web browser and watching the activity in the network tab as you click on links. This tells you where the information that gets loaded into your browser actual…

Creative Technologist-in-Residence at the State Library of Victoria!

Reading time: 1 minutes
I’m very excited to be the new Creative Technologist-in-Residence at the SLV LAB. For the next few months I get to play around with metadata and images, think about online access, experiment with different technologies, and build things to help people to explore the State Library’s collections. In other words, I get to be in my happy place!
My group at the recent SLV WikiFest was thinking about ways of helping researchers find resources relating to particular locations – how do I find material about my suburb, or my street? Coincidentally, the main focus of my residency will also be place-based collections, so I get to really think through some of the possibilities. SLV staff have already pointed me to some amazing maps and photographs, such as the Committee for Urban Action collection, the Mahlstedt fire survey maps, the MMBW plans, and the Victorian parish maps.
At the same time, I’ll be using my usual GLAM hacking approach to poke around in the SLV website to try and understand what data is currently available, identify any roadblocks, and document opportunities for computational research.
The results of my residency will be shared on the SLV LAB site, in GitHub, in the SLV section of the GLAM Workbench, and of course here. As usual, I’ll be working in the open, documenting things as I go along, so please join me on the journey!
Although the residency was formally announced today, I’ve actually been working with SLV data for the last couple of weeks and I’ve already got a backlog of stuff I need to blog about. Here’s a taster – what happens when you generate bounding boxes for thousands of parish maps from the available metadata and throw them on a map…?

Multilingual Wordnets, Metaphor and a Warm Welcome in Wrocław

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Wrocław University of Science and Technology thanks to a CLARIN Mobility Grant. Although I’d planned to arrive on Sunday, a PhD defense on Monday morning meant I only got there Monday afternoon—but the warm welcome more than made up for it!
My visit focused on strengthening collaboration between Palacký University Olomouc, CLARIN-PL, and the Global Wordnet Association, which I currently serve as president. My main goals were to prepare a proposal for a CLARIN Knowledge Centre dedicated to wordnets, convert the latest release of the Polish Wordnet (plWordNet) into the Global Wordnet Association’s

Confronting Decline (CONDE) – Challenges of Deindustrialization in European Societies since the 1970s
Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 2 minutes
Since the 1970s, deindustrialization has fundamentally changed Western industrial societies. In North America and Europe, thousands of jobs have been lost in traditional industrial regions, in particular in the textile industry, coal mining, the iron and steel industry and shipbuilding. Even in the electronic consumer goods sector and the watch and photography industries, many millions of jobs have been eliminated or relocated to other regions of the world. There is no question that deindustrialization is one of the most far-reaching transformation processes in contemporary history, fundamentally changing landscapes, economic structures and socio-cultural environments.
Starting from this observation, the conference, organized by the CONDE research group, will reflect on the impact and wide…

I noticed this morning that my weekly harvest of recently digitised files in RecordSearch had failed. A quick check showed that my harvester was being blocked by Cloudflare’s bot protection software. I wasn’t really surprised. Websites are using tools like this to protect themselves against AI scraper bots, and I’d already seen it in action on another Australian government site. In the war between content providers and AI scrapers, researchers and digital preservation efforts are copping collateral damage.

Reading time: 1 minutes
The research project proposes to merge three analytical levels – European, national, and local – to tell the story of the European market through the removal of the Halles marketplace in the center of Paris and the establishment of Rungis wholesale marketplace (1950-1980). The project adopts a sociohistorical methodology to study the effects of the creation of the European Economic Community. By considering the markets of the Halles and Rungis as sites of internationalism and studying the experience of their actors this project will extend the frontiers of international organizations’ history.

Interconnecting History and Archives for Migrant Agencies
Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 2 minutes
The lecture will illustrate the path that led to the construction of a database on migration narratives, from an interdisciplinary perspective. In particular, the characteristics of the Horizon2020 project ITHACA (‘Interconnecting History and Archives for Migrant Agencies’, developed between 2021 and 2025) will be outlined. The aim of the project was to produce a repository that would enhance different dimensions of migration with the aim of influencing policy and informing public debate. The database therefore needed to combine several factors: time, space, narratives, representation and self-representation of migrants.
Matteo Al Kalak is Full Professor of Early Modern History and Director of the Research Centre on Digital Humanities at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. He is responsible for teaching in the field of history, with a focus on the history of the modern age and the history of Christianity, in a cultural perspective. He has conducted research on the phenomena of dissent, conversion, reformism and the control of collective behaviour. He has authored several monographs and scientific articles.

Vanishing Points: Technographies of Data Loss – Tracing Digital Remains
Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 2 minutes
This hands-on history lecture explores the often-overlooked phenomenon of digital disappearance and what happens when data seemingly vanishes. While much attention has been paid to data accumulation and preservation, this talk examines the equally important yet understudied dynamics of data loss, asking: How do digital remains persist even as information disappears? What can the material traces of deletion reveal about power structures in our datafied world? Through concrete case studies ranging from platform architectures to digital administrations, this lecture demonstrates how technical practices of data removal create complex patterns of presence and absence that challenge simple narratives of complete erasure. The exploration invites participants to rethink fundamental assumptions abo…
Manufacturing Colonial Consent : Diplomacy, media and propaganda at the Berlin Conference (1884-1885)
Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 2 minutes
Propaganda is often viewed as a twentieth-century phenomenon, closely associated with the era of totalitarian regimes and mass media. Yet the rhetoric that justified European expansion in the late 19th-century was no less sophisticated or influential.
This Research Seminar talk focuses on the Berlin Conference (1884-1885) as a foundational moment in the development of modern propaganda. Regarded as a key stage in the imperial partition of Africa, the Conference has been studied primarily from the point of view of diplomacy, economics and international law. However, the propagandist dimension of this event remains underexplored. Through a comparative study of the French Livres Jaunes, contemporary press coverage, and international diplomatic archives, this presentation will show how imperial powers, and particularly France, mobilized ideals of civilization, progress, and moral responsibility, to reframe imperial domination as a service to humanity. Rather than being centrally orchestrated, colonial propaganda at this time emerged through a decentralized network of diplomats, explorers, journalists, and political actors. By applying Harold Lasswell’s model of communication, the presentation will examine how these narratives were constructed, who shaped and disseminated them, which audiences they targeted, and what effects they sought to produce.

Lawyers and capitalism. The History of Lawyers as Key Actors in the Development of Global Capitalism
Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 3 minutes
The legal profession has long been identified as a power broker between political, corporate, state-bureaucratic and academic elites. Recent research has focused on the emergence of new professionals who are willing and able to work across national frontiers. As professional go-betweens, lawyers – alongside accountants, financial advisers or wealth managers – have become essential actors of the emerging “transnational legal field”, coordinating strategies across jurisdictions and forming a strong component of professional services firms.
The objective of this workshop is threefold. First, it aims to take stock of the ongoing international and interdisciplinary debates. Second, it intends to focus on the historical dimension and to deepen our understanding of the changes over time of the le…
The Jews of Romania and Luxembourg: An Entangled History (1914-1947)

Reading time: 2 minutes
In the framework of the Digital Shoah Memorial and the exhibition “Fruit Trees, Railway Tunnels, and Seamless Tubes. Luxembourgish presence in Romania (1890-1950)”, the C²DH and the Centre de Documentation sur les Migrations humaines, Dudelange, organise a symposium regarding Jewish migration from eastern Austria-Hungary and Romania to Luxembourg and vice versa, within the broader context of antisemitism in Russian-occupied Bukovina during the First World War, and in Romania in the first half of the 20th century. Two Romania-based specialists, Andrei Cușco and Bronwyn Cragg, will dive into the history of antisemitic discourse and violence, a driving force behind the emigration of Jews, as well as a Luxembourgish Jew’s first-hand experience of antisemitism in Romania, while Philippe Blasen from the C²DH/CDMH will retrace the migration of Jews from Romania to Luxembourg during the interwar period.
