A central activity in Språkbanken, an R&D unit at the University of Gothenburg, is the systematic construction of a research infrastructure based on interoperability and widely accepted standards for metadata and data.The two main components of this infrastructure deal with text corpora and with lexical resources.For modularity and flexibility, both components have a backend, or server-side part, accessed through an API made up of a set of well-defined web services.This means that there can be any number of different user interfaces to these components, corresponding, e.g., to different research needs.Here, we will demonstrate the standard corpus and lexicon search interfaces, designed primarily for linguistic searches: Korp and Karp.
