Motivation • Lack of Comprehensive, wide-scope Corpora Tools • Commercial Packages are usually difficult to Integrate/Customize • Tools are not prepared to support cooperative work.• Linguistic knowledge is not usually integrated in tools.What is GC? GC is a Web tool being developed at Linguateca/CLUP that aims to provide a comprehensive work environment for Corpus-Based Linguistic Research.GC allows users to: • access several Corpora tools from a single entry point using a regular web browser • access and query generic Corpora (BNC, Reuter's, COMPARA, CETEMPúblico) • build personal simple, parallel and comparable Corpora from text files (PDF, PS, Word, HTML, TXT) • use several (on-line/off-line) tools with their personal Corpora (statistics, POS-taggers, Filters, etc.) • communicate and exchange results with other users
