The European Reference Corpus EuReCo
One of the main ideas of the open EuReCo initiative, founded in 2012, is to join national, reference and other corpora to comparable corpora just virtually: All corpora stay at their hosting institutions to avoid legal issues and to automatically benefit from local maintenance and curation. They are joint virtually by using the same FOSS analysis platform KorAP which allows for dynamically defining virtual (comparable) subcorpora, arbitrary annotation layers, data size, and an extensible set of query languages.
