 ====== Service description ======
 Services provided by the LiRI Language Technology group (LT) can be subdivided into four categories:

 The effort required for developing an application heavily depends on the required features, e.g. if data is static or changing over time, whether data editing interfaces for handling user input need to be implemented or changes are applied automatically, and, obviously, the size and complexity of dataset(s) in question. For application development, required effort typically starts in the low three-digits, in terms of number of required development hours.
+For small projects (with less than 100 effective working hours), we charge an additional 5% as overhead costs and 5% as infrastructure costs in case the project makes use of the LiRI infrastructure.
 ===== Data processing =====
-Data processing includes the conversion, cleaning, filtering and automatic processing of linguistic data, such as the use of [[wp>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_processing|NLP]] tools and methods, individual machine learning/deep learning solutions, or purpose-built conversion/extraction pipelines.

 For data archiving via [[https://www.swissubase.ch/|SWISSUbase]], LT offers services including extraction and conversion of relevant information to formats suitable for long-term storage.

 ===== Consulting & training =====
-The LiRI LT group offers consulting and training in all its areas of expertise. This includes both the processing, modeling, storage, retrieval and visualization of potentially very large amounts of linguistic data, as well as the development of web applications for working with such data. Because LT members have backgrounds in linguistics, computational linguistics, computer science and software engineering, LT is able to offer a holistic view of problems that lie at the border of scientific and operational domains.

LT supports applicants with phrasing the technical parts of their proposals and preparing data management plans (DMPs).

 Central IT provides file storage via the  [[wp>Server_Message_Block|SMB protocol]], which can be mounted on common operating systems. Use of this service requires a UZH user account and a connection to the UZH network (including VPN). Multiple users can be given fine-grained access to a single storage space.
-For access from outside of the UZH network, LT has set up a storage solution that can be accessed via the [[wp>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol|SFTP protocol]]. Multiple users can access this storage by means of public keys, but because they identify as the same server-side user, access cannot be restricted for authenticated users. In contrast to the SMB solution, the SFTP storage also allows automated access (e.g. for automated file upload).

 ==== Hosting ====
-LT offers publicly accessible web space for its users, as well as public or restricted access to software running on its infrastructure. This includes either standard web applications provided by LT, or individually handled requests. In all such cases, an individual subdomain in the form //ALIAS.linguistik.uzh.ch// is created. A secure connection is guaranteed by means of a [[wp>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security|TLS certificate]].

 As for standard web applications, LT currently provides [[https://dokuwiki.org|Dokuwiki]] instances, which can be used for publicly accessible project documentation, manuals, etc., but also with the possibility of limiting access to a defined set of users. The main configuration for this service is handled by LT. A selection of Dokuwiki plugins and themes is also made available.
