CLARIN.SI at the European conference CLARIN 2014

Tomaž Erjavec 2014-11-10

At the annual Conference CLARIN ERIC, which took place October 23 – 25 2014 in Soesterberg, The Netherlands Tomaž Erjavec introduced CLARIN.SI with the poster “The Slovene CLARIN Infrastructure”.

What’s new:

CLARIN.SI Repository CoreTrustSeal Recertification
We are pleased to announce that the CLARIN.SI repository has been recertified with CoreTrustSeal certificate, which confirms its trustworthiness as a data repository and its compliance with international standards for research data management.

Further information can be found in the certification document.
Problems with access to CLARIN.SI
Over the past week or so, there have been intermittent issues with access to CLARIN.SI. The problems are caused by several large AI companies aggressively harvesting all content under the www.clarin.si domain, while ignoring our robots.txt directives that explicitly prohibit such activities. This harvesting includes our services (e.g., the concordancers), which require some time to process each request. As these requests are sent repeatedly, several times per second, the infrastructure becomes overloaded and unresponsive, much like during a typical DDoS attack.

We are actively blocking the offending IP addresses, but new ones keep appearing. We are implementing various measures to address the situation, but unfortunately, it may take some time to fully resolve. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding!
