Abstract
In this paper we discuss the five requirements for building large publicly available corpora which geared the construction of the Lácio-Web corpora and their environments: 1) a comprehensive text typology; 2) text copyright clearance, compilation and annotation scheme; 3) a friendly and didactic interface; 4) the need to serve as support for several types of research; 5) the need to offer an array of associated tools. Also, we present the features that make Lácio-Web corpora interesting and novel as well as the limitations of this project, such as corpora size and balance, and the non-inclusion of spoken texts in the project’s reference corpus.
