CLAM services are missing from switchboard

[proycon]

Continuation of clarin-eric/LRSwitchboard#55, quoting @andmor-:

@proycon sorry looks like everyone forgot to follow up on this.

No problem, so did I, hence this late report.

Yes all web services have been removed in the scope of this issue. I assume that is why CLAM was removed as well. The current tools registry can be found here.

They are still in that registry though, as far as I can tell.

Can you provide us with an URL that will instantiate that built-in browser-based UI?

The URLs as they appear in the registry are valid, whilst they are RESTful webservices providing an XML response, it also associates an XSL stylesheet which turn any RESTful response into a human interface client-side, that's how CLAM's hybrid approach works.

If you think that CLAM tools fall outside the scope of this ticket you can create an issue to re-add them.

Yes, I think they are useful for various end-users and already received a report of a user who was looking for them through the switchboard but couldn't find them anymore.

FTR: The CLAM services were moved from production to the development Switchboard around the official launch of the EOSC (23 November 2018). We did this for all the services that were not openly available or did not support federated login. This change was unrelated to the user interface of CLAM. It should still be accessible via the LRS-dev version but it seems that that version is currently unavailable via the old URL and the new URL.

Development tools (including CLAM services) are available in the beta and development versions of the switchboard, respectively:
https://beta-switchboard.clarin.eu
https://switchboard.clarin-dev.eu

If you guys are interested in adding more CLAM-based NLP services developed in the scope of CLARIN/CLARIAH and beyond, we have several more that may be of interest to the wider community:

• Piereling - A webservice for conversion from and to FoLiA XML, supports a wide variety of formats.
• PICCL - OCR and post-OCR normalisation
• English ASR - English speech recognition (upload an audio file and get a transcription.
• Automatic Transcription of Dutch Speech Recordings - Dutch speech recognition
• Grapheme to Phoneme converter - Text to phonemes

Ah, I see you guys already have a separate git repo with the registry and procedure for adding new tools. Very good.
