I'm pleased to announce the first release of LTXML2, the new version of LTG's XML toolkit. This release is binary-only, for Mac and Linux. We intend to do a source release later in the year. The software can be downloaded from: http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/software/ltxml2 From the README file: LTXML2 Preview Binary Release, June 2007 About LTXML2: LTXML2 is the new version of LTG's XML toolkit. These tools were designed for use in NLP (Natural Language Processing) applications, but many of them are useful for general-purpose XML processing. LTXML2 consists of a C API for reading, writing, and modifying XML documents, an XPath library, and several applications built with these. The present release contains only the applications. The applications include among others lxgrep, a grep-like program for XML; lxt, an XSLT 1.0 implementation; lxprintf, a program for generating plain-text tables from an XML document; and lxsort, a sorting program. Also included is lxtransduce, which is a key part of LT-TTT 2, our set of shallow text NLP tools. LT-TTT 2 will be released this summer. Installation: This release contains only binaries, manual pages, and the lxtransduce DTD. Copy the files into suitables directories on your system (e.g. /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/man/man1, and /usr/local/share). You may wish to add a reference to the lxtransduce DTD to your XML catalog if you use one. Versions compiled for Linux and MacOS X are available. Documentation: There is an ltxml2 manual page with a very brief introduction to the programs, and an individual manual page for each program. Most of the programs are straightforward and controlled by command-line options, but for lxtransduce there is also an introduction to the rule files available at: http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~richard/ltxml2/lxtransduce-manual.html The forthcoming LT-TTT 2 release will include scripts and tutorial for lxtransduce. Copying: The files in this release are Copyright 2007 Richard Tobin, LTG, HCRC, University of Edinburgh. They may not be redistributed. We plan to make a source release later in the year. Bugs: Most of these programs have not yet been widely used, so expect to find bugs. Please report them to richard@i.... -- Richard [Date Prev] | [Thread Prev] | [Thread Next] | [Date Next] -- [Date Index] | [Thread Index] |
