Presently part of this material is searchable on the test branch of the korp.csc.fi server using normalized Cyrillic orthography. The result provides bibliographical metadata for each individual sentence, including presenter, year and place of collection as well as an automated morphological analysis and dependency representation; normalization and automated morphosyntactic presentation are subject to continued development.
