DESCRIPTION

mootm - moocow's part-of-speech tagger: morphology.

REQUIREMENTS

moot >= v2.0.0

Available from http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/~moocow/projects/moot

mootm uses libmoot for high-level I/O operations. These should probably wander into their own library at some point, but they currently live in moot. moot version >= 2.0.6-pre1 is reccommended.

Underlying finite-state device library

mootm can use any one of several underlying libraries for finite-state device operations, including the following:

GNU libgfsm >= v0.0.7

Available from http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/~moocow/projects/gfsm

libgfsm version >= 0.0.8-pre9 is reccommended.

University of Potsdam FSMlib > v0.9.0.1

For details and availability, contact its author, Thomas Hanneforth.

RWTH libFsa

Available from http://www.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/I6/~kanthak/fsa.html

RWTH libFsa support is implemented but currently broken. Feel free to fix it if you like.

pkg-config

Available from: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/

Perl (Optional)

Get it from http://www.cpan.org or http://www.perl.com Required for building command-line parsers, utility documentation, library documentation, etc.

Getopt::Gen

A Perl module used to generate command-line option parsers. Available from: http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/~moocow/projects/perl/index.html#gog

pod2man, pod2text, pod2html (Optional)

The Perl documentation converstion utilities, required for building the correspdonding program documentation formats, should have come with your Perl.

INSTALLATION

Issue the following commands to the shell:

 sh ./configure
 make
 make install

See the file INSTALL in the top-level distribution directory for details.

BUILD FROM CVS/SVN

To build from CVS or Subversion sources, you need the GNU utilities aclocal, automake, autoconf, and libtool. If you have these, you can just run the top-level script:

 sh ./autogen.sh

This will create the 'configure' script and other necessary build files.

KNOWN BUGS

Probably many.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Development of this package was supported by the project 'Kollokationen im W�rterbuch' ("collocations in the dictionary", http://www.bbaw.de/forschung/kollokationen ) in association with the project 'Digitales W�rterbuch der deutschen Sprache des 20. Jahrhunderts (DWDS)' ("digital dictionary of the German language of the 20th century", http://www.dwds.de ) at the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften ( http://www.bbaw.de ) with funding from the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung ( http://www.avh.de ) and from the Zukunftsinvestitionsprogramm of the German federal government.

I am grateful to Christiane Fellbaum, Alexander Geyken, Thomas Hanneforth, Gerald Neumann, Edmund Pohl, Alexey Sokirko, and others for offering useful insights in the course of development of this package.

Thomas Hanneforth wrote and maintains the libFSM C++ library for finite-state device operations used in the development of this package.

Alexander Geyken and Thomas Hanneforth developed the rule-based morphological analysis system for German which was used in the development and testing of this package.
