Abstract
The Centro Ramón Piñeiro para a Investigación en Humanidades (CRPIH) is working on a huge computerized database with diatopic, etymological, ethnographic, semantic as well as bibliographic information based on the exploitation of the data contained in the Atlas Linguistique Roman (ALiR). The aim of this paper is to describe the main features and show the usefulness of this database, which nowadays consists of more than 57.000 items. The paper is divided into three sections: first, we briefly introduce the main characteristics of the ALiR; second, we describe the structure of the database; finally, we suggest several possible investigations which might be carried out with the help of this new tool which is put at the service of the Romance studies.
