In the tutorial on 31 March 2025 we will present the optimal use of Swissdox@LiRi.
On Monday, 31 March 2025 from 15.30 – 17.00, a external page Swissdox@LiRI-Tutorial will take place as part of the external page CLARIN-CH training sessions. The tutorial will show how to use the platform to search, analyse and visualise media articles. You will learn various query options and get a first insight into analysis with Python. In addition, helpful tools will be presented that facilitate further processing of the data.
Thanks to the long-standing support of ETH Zurich, ETH members have free access to external page Swissdox@LiRI. Take this opportunity and external page sign up for the tutorial to expand your analytical skills!
What is Swissdox@LiRI?
external page Swissdox@LiRI is a research platform of the University of Zurich that provides access to one of the most comprehensive collections of Swiss news and media content. The database includes approximately 24 million articles from over 260 Swiss media sources, including newspapers, magazines and other journalistic publications.
Most articles were published in the past 25 years, but the archive covers a period of several decades. Between 5,000 and 6,000 new articles are added every day, so researchers can always work with up-to-date data.
The platform enables targeted queries and analyses of large text corpora, which offers a wide range of applications for researchers at ETH, particularly in the fields of linguistics, media research, social sciences and data analysis.
You can find an overview of relevant databases, textbooks and new acquisitions for the humanities and social sciences on our website.ie auf unserer Webseite.
