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.
In the mid-1990s, the Faculty of Linguistics and Literary-Studies at Bielefeld University began to establish the field Text technology, both in research and education. Text technology is a new field of research on the border of Computational Linguistics and Computational Philology.
This paper focuses on Text technology in academic education. In 2002, Text Technology was introduced as a minor subject for B.A. Programs. It is organized in modules: Module 1 introduces the characteristics of electronic texts and documents, typography, typesetting systems and hypertext. Module 2 introduces one or two programming languages relevant to the field of humanities computing. Markup languages and the principles of information structuring are the main topics of Module 3. The formal fundamentals of computer-based text processing, as formal languages and their grammars, Logics et cetera are subjects of another module. The paper ends with a short description of other Bachelor- and Master-Programs at Bielefeld University which contain text technological themes.
