[Corpora-List] CLAM 0.9.10 released: turns any command line NLP tool into a webservice/webapplication

[Maarten van Gompel]

Hi all,

I would like to announce the release of CLAM 0.9.10, an open-source software
tool to turn your own command-line applications into fully-fledged RESTful
webservices , and providing a web-based user-interface at the same time. It
enables both human end-users as well as automated clients to communicate with
your tool.

 Source: https://github.com/proycon/clam  
   (also available through the Python Package Index)

CLAM offers a multi-user environment and is aimed at wrapping your NLP tools in
a batch-execution style, as tools typically take a long time processing large
corpus data. To wrap CLAM around your NLP tool. you merely provide a
specification of input and output data, and write a wrapper script that CLAM
invokes and which in turn invokes your tool. This saves you the time and effort
of building a daemon mode and web API in your application itself. CLAM itself
is written in Python.

CLAM is developed at the Centre of Language and Speech Technology, Radboud
University Nijmegen, and is funded by CLARIN-NL. A demo was recently presented
at COLING 2014 in Dublin.

The software is used in a variety of different projects. We also created and
host a number of NLP tools through CLAM ourselves; these can be found on:

(You will need to apply for a free account on the webpage for access to these)

Any existing users of CLAM are strongly urged to upgrade to this latest
version, as it contains important security fixes!!

Thanks for your attention,
