CoPhiLab is focused on the modeling and development of resources for the digital scholarly editing and the processing of historical languages, in particular Italian (in its diachronic perspective), Ancient Greek, Latin and Arabic.
The main interests of CoPhiLab members are the formalization of entities and relations involved in the domain of Collaborative Philology, the creation of digital resources and the design and development of digital tools, in particular for classical languages.
CoPhiLab is part of CNR-ILC (National Research Council of Italy – Institute for Computational Linguistics “Antonio Zampolli”), which ranks among the leading Italian research centres in the field of Computational Linguistics.
Through CoPhiLab, CNR-ILC participates in the CLARIN K-Centre DipText-KC (CLARIN Knowledge Centre for Digital and Public Textual Scholarship), established under the aegis of CLARIN-IT, the Italian node of CLARIN (Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure), a digital infrastructure of pan-European interest identified by ESFRI (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) and classified as a Landmark Research Infrastucture for the Scientific Community of Social Sciences and Humanities (ESFRI Landmarks SSH RI).
