Abstract

Spokes is an online service for conversational corpus data search and exploration, currently developed as part of CLARIN-PL – the Polish CLARIN infrastructure. This paper describes the data sets currently available through Spokes, the architecture of the service and the data and metadata search functionality it provides to its users. We also introduce some of the more experimental features which have been developed to facilitate more advanced research on multimodal conversational corpora.
