A common architecture for different text processing techniques in an information retrieval environment
Gregor Thurmair · 1986
The following paper gives an overview on a text processing software called REALIST (Retrieval Aids by Linguistics and Statistics) which integrates different text processing techniques into a common surface. It supports the user by offering the environment of a given term, using morphological, syntactic and statistic means. The user can call up the processing results, use it for indexing, classification or retrieval purposes and combine them as he wishes e.g. to set up a search logic. The text processing is done on a main frame computer, the results are transferred to a minicomputer where the evaluation is performed. REALIST is a stand alone package, fitting any existing search systems.
