TIGER

Description

TIGERSearch is a specialized search engine for syntactically annotated corpora (treebanks).

Features

• linguistically motivated query language (similar to typed feature-based grammar formalisms)
• sophisticated graphical user interface (TIGERGraphViewer) for browsing the query results
• corpus samplers from PennTreebank, NegraCorpus, TigerCorpus, DerekoCorpus, SusanneCorpus, ChristineCorpus, Penn-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Middle English, VerbmobilTreebank
• graphical registry tool (TIGERRegistry) for easy corpus administration
• XML-import of corpora Import filters are available for the corpora mentioned above.
• XML- and SVG-animation-export of query results Sample XSLT-stylesheets for the creation of other formats are included.
• available for all major platforms which support Java 1.3: Microsoft Windows, Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X.

The development of TIGERSearch has been funded by the TIGER project (DFG) and the DEREKO project (Land Baden-Wuerttemberg). The NegraCorpus and the TigerCorpus has been annotated using the java based TigerAnnotate software.
