[Corpora-List] Open-source corpus query tools

[David Reitter]

Grzegorz -

you may want to check out the NITE XML Toolkit

http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/NITE/

This is a much more recent package, based on XML technologies. There is 
a nice query language, the representation format is well worked out 
(supports time-alignment), there is a useful library with an API for 
Java (read / run queries etc.) and they have components that allow you 
to throw together GUI based annotation tools. Documentation is 
available, too (even though it takes a few clicks to get through to 
it...)

The above link is at Edinburgh, but the Stuttgart people have 
co-developed NXT, as have others.

Cheers
Dave
