Wikipedia is a valuable resource, useful as a lingustic corpus or a dataset for many kinds of research. We built corpora from Wikipedia articles and talk pages in the I5 format, a TEI customisation used in the German Reference Corpus (Deutsches Referenzkorpus - DeReKo). Our approach is a two-stage conversion combining parsing using the Sweble parser, and transformation using XSLT stylesheets. The conversion approach is able to successfully generate rich and valid corpora regardless of languages. We also introduce a method to segment user contributions in talk pages into postings.
Enabling appropriate access to linguistic research data, both for many researchers and for innovative research applications, is a challenging task. In this chapter, we describe how we address this challenge in the context of the German Reference Corpus DeReKo and the corpus analysis platform KorAP. The core of our approach, which is based on and tightly integrated into the CLARIN infrastructure, is to offer access at different levels. The graduated access levels make it possible to find a low-loss compromise between the possibilities opened up and the costs incurred by users and providers for each individual use case, so that, viewed over many applications, the ratio between effort and results achieved can be effectively optimized. We also report on experiences with the current state of this approach.
CLARIAH-DE cross-service search - prospects and benefits of merging subject-specific services
(2021)
CLARIAH-DE combines services and offerings of CLARIN-D and DARIAH-DE. This includes various search applications which are made directly available to researchers. These search applications are presented in this working paper based on their main characteristics and compared with a focus on possible harmonizations. Opportunities and risks of different forms of technical integration are highlighted. Identified challenges can be explained in particular considering the background of different organizational and technical frameworks as well as highly specific and discipline-dependent requirements. The integration work that has already been carried out and the experiences gained with regard to future work and possible integration of further applications are also discussed. The experiences made in CLARIAH-DE can especially be of interest for other projects in the field of digital research infrastructures.
KorAP is a corpus search and analysis platform, developed at the Institute for the German Language (IDS). It supports very large corpora with multiple annotation layers, multiple query languages, and complex licensing scenarios. KorAP’s design aims to be scalable, flexible, and sustainable to serve the German Reference Corpus DEREKO for at least the next decade. To meet these requirements, we have adopted a highly modular microservice-based architecture. This paper outlines our approach: An architecture consisting of small components that are easy to extend, replace, and maintain. The components include a search backend, a user and corpus license management system, and a web-based user frontend. We also describe a general corpus query protocol used by all microservices for internal communications. KorAP is open source, licensed under BSD-2, and available on GitHub.
Die Korpusanalyseplattform KorAP ist von Grund auf sprachenunabhängig konzipiert. Dies gilt sowohl in Bezug auf die Lokalisierung der Benutzeroberfläche als auch hinsichtlich unterschiedlicher Anfragesprachen und der Unterstützung fremdsprachiger Korpora und ihren Annotationen. Diese Eigenschaften dienen im Rahmen der EuReCo Initiative aktuell besonders der Bereitstellung weiterer National- und Referenzkorpora neben DeReKo. EuReCo versucht, Kompetenzen beim Aufbau großer Korpora zu bündeln und durch die Verfügbarmachung vergleichbarer Korpora quantitative Sprachvergleichsforschung zu erleichtern. Hierzu bietet KorAP inzwischen, neben dem Zugang durch die Benutzeroberfläche, einen Web API Client an, der statistische Erhebungen, auch korpusübergreifend, vereinfacht.
In this paper, we present our experiences and decisions in dealing with challenges in developing, maintaining and operating online research software tools in the field of linguistics. In particular, we highlight reproducibility, dependability, and security as important aspects of quality management – taking into account the special circumstances in which research software
is usually created.
Machine learning methods offer a great potential to automatically investigate large amounts of data in the humanities. Our contribution to the workshop reports about ongoing work in the BMBF project KobRA (http://www.kobra.tu-dortmund.de) where we apply machine learning methods to the analysis of big corpora in language-focused research of computer-mediated communication (CMC). At the workshop, we will discuss first results from training a Support Vector Machine (SVM) for the classification of selected linguistic features in talk pages of the German Wikipedia corpus in DeReKo provided by the IDS Mannheim. We will investigate different representations of the data to integrate complex syntactic and semantic information for the SVM. The results shall foster both corpus-based research of CMC and the annotation of linguistic features in CMC corpora.
KorAP, die neue Korpusanalyseplattform des IDS, die COSMAS II im Laufe der kommenden 2–3 Jahre ablösen wird, bietet gerade zur Erforschung grammatischer Variation einige besondere Funktionalitäten. Grundlegend ist beispielsweise, dass KorAP die Repräsentation und Abfrage beliebiger und beliebig vieler Annotationsschichten, zum Beispiel zu Konstituenz- und Dependenzrelationen, unterstutzt und damit die Suche nach speziellen grammatischen Phänomenen erleichtert oder erst möglich macht. Darüber hinaus unterstutzt KorAP die Konstruktion virtueller Korpora anhand von Metadatenvariablen und erleichtert damit kontrastive Untersuchungen. Der vorliegende Artikel erläutert die für die grammatische Variationsforschung relevanten KorAP-Funktionalitäten im Einzelnen und gibt einen Einblick in ihre Grundlagen.
