[Corpora-List] Query-By-Example (QBE) -like GUI to query corpora ...

 Hi Christian et al,

 I checked their project and it is, in what pertains to the QBE
functionality, what I have in mind. Do you know why did they phase out
that project?

 I (am a professional programmer and I) could restudy and if better
than restarting from scratch, I could take myself over that project
(Of course if it is OK with them ...)

 I checked out their search interface to the TIGER corpus (I found odd
that searching for "gehen" doesn't naturally give you as result also
"gegangen"), but honestly I don't believe in OWL/RDF description of
ontologies/Semantic Web things in corpora research. At least not in
the way I think of corpora which are essentially syntactic beasts
~
 What is the point of using previously "described" so-called
"semantic" information? I think corpora should just implement as a
linguistic tool to query source data/texts.
~
 How on earth could you query texts semantically?
