There are approximately 30 employees working at the INT.

The institute has a long-standing experience in building corpora and dictionaries, in linguistic processing and enrichment of language resources, and in developing linguistic and lexicographical retrieval applications.

It is known as the institute where the large scholarly dictionaries of the Dutch Language have been compiled:
i.e. the Oudnederlands Woordenboek (ONW, Dictionary of Old Dutch; ca. 475 – 1200),
the Vroegmiddelnederlands Woordenboek (VMNW, Dictionary of Early Middle Dutch; 1200 – 1300),
the Middelnederlandsch Woordenboek (MNW, Dictionary of Middle Dutch; ca. 1250 – 1550),
the Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal (WNT, Dictionary of the Dutch Language; ca. 1500 – 1976).

Currently the institute is compiling a new dictionary of contemporary Dutch, the Algemeen Nederlands Woordenboek (ANW, Dictionary of contemporary Dutch).
The INT dictionaries and lexica, both contemporary and historical, are corpus-based.

The institute hosts a wide range of corpora, including Gysseling Corpus (13th century texts), Letters as Loot (Brieven als Buit 16th and 17th century letters) and Corpus of Contemporary Dutch.
They can be accessed through a corpus search engine, BlackLab, developed by INT.

The institute also has an official role as a repository for digital language resources for the Dutch language previously hosted at the ‘TST-Centrale’ (Agency for Human Language Technology).
As such it has ample experience in acquisition, management, and maintenance of linguistic resources and tools, and making these available for education, research and development.
More information on the available resources and tools can be found here.

The institute has participated in the EC funded projects PAROLE, SIMPLE, TELRI, ENABLER, ELAN, IMPACT, SUCCEED and Transcriptorium.

INT is a member of the CLARIN common languages resource infrastructure network and is one of the CLARIN centers in the Netherlands with a specific focus on resources that are relevant to the lexicological study of the Dutch language and on resources
