Dear colleagues,<br>
I inform you that the beta version of Gramlab is now available for
testing. <br>
<br>
Gramlab is an integrated development environment dedicated to local
grammars automata creation, edition and diffusion. Gramlab allows
computational linguists in collective or individual contexts to
design or maintain grammar collections. Gramlab was build upon
Unitex software and includes Unitex linguistic resources. It keeps
most of Unitex features, and adds many ones including:<br>
<br>
- a project-oriented design allowing the user to work on several
projects in parallel <br>
- a brand new Eclipse-like interface, remembering the user
configuration when restarted<br>
- integrated SVN support for data sharing, including facilities for
comparing and merging graphs<br>
- a workflow approach allowing the user to run with one click a full
processing sequence (preprocessing, locate, concordance)<br>
- possibility to type some test text without having to edit a new
corpus file<br>
- new graph edition features to manipulate box groups with a right
click<br>
- named graph repositories<br>
- auto-refresh of opened files that have been modified<br>
- utf8 support<br>
<br>
There is no user documention yet, but if you already know Unitex,
Gramlab should be intuitive enough for you. Since it is designed as
a collaborative project, feel free to join our wikis and forums on
SourceForge and give us inputs and use cases here. <br>
<br>
In order to test Gramlab, you have to install the latest version of
Unitex 3.0beta (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://igm.univ-mlv.fr/%7Eunitex">http://igm.univ-mlv.fr/~unitex</a>),
and run Gramlab.jar instead of Unitex.jar.<br>
<br>
Please report bugs, comments and questions to Fanny Grandry (<a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:grandry@kwaga.com">grandry@kwaga.com</a>).
If you want to become a registered beta tester, you can ask her for
an account on the bug tracking system we use.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
