[Corpora-List] question about storage of corpora

[Fco. Mario Barcala Rodríguez]

Hi:

We store texts of our corpora as XML and works fine for us for more
than a decade.  We, then, build relational databases from them to make
different search applications (http://corpus.cirp.es/corga and
http://corpus.cirp.es/corgaetq)

TEI (http://www.tei-c.org) or XCES (http://www.xces.org) can give you
a start point.

We made an stylesheet adaptation of an XML editor to do part of
speech. It's not the best solution, but works for us for years. For
searching, we build ad hoc relational database from the XML files.

You can see all details and other related questions in my PhD
work. The full pdf file (Galician language) and an extended summary of
it (in English) can be downloaded from my home page:

Ask me any doubts you want

Regards,

  Mario Barcala
