BlackLab Frontend

The BlackLab Frontend is a webinterface for publishing and searching through text corpora, powered by BlackLab. It is developed by the Dutch Language Institute and is used to provide a user-friendly interface for searching through linguistic corpora.

At the Dutch Language Institute, we use it to publish our corpora such as CHN (CLARIN login required), Letters as Loot. We also host an instance where you can try it out by uploading your own corpus data (privately), called AutoSearch (CLARIN login required).

You can find links to specific documentation in the sidebar.
