Within the Knowledge Sharing Infrastructure, so called Knowledge Centres comprise one or more physical institutions with particular expertise in certain areas and are committed to providing their expertise in the form of reliable knowledge-sharing services. In this paper, we present the ninth K Centre – the CLARIN Knowledge Centre for Linguistic Diversity and Language Documentation (CKLD) – and the expertise and services provided by the member institutions at the Universities of London (ELAR/SWLI), Cologne (DCH/IfDH/IfL) and Hamburg (HZSK/INEL). The centre offers information on current best practices, available resources and tools, and gives advice on technological and methodological matters for researchers working within relevant fields.}, language = {en} }
