From http://www.csufresno.edu/odin

ODIN, the Online Database of Interlinear text, is a repository of Interlinear Glossed Text (IGT) extracted mainly from scholarly linguistic papers. The repository is both broad-coverage, in that it contains data for a variety of the world's languages (limited only by what data is available and what has been discovered), and rich, in that all data contained in the repository has been subject to linguistic analysis. IGT is a standard method within the field of linguistics for presenting language data, with (1) being a typical example. Common in IGT is a phonetic transcription of the language in question (line 1), a morphosyntactic analysis which includes a morpheme-by-morpheme gloss and grammatical information of varying sorts and granularity (line 2), and a free-translation (line 3).

Currently, ODIN gives pointers to scholarly papers on the Web that contain instances of IGT.
