IndraTreebanking

The following is a step-by-step instruction to do INDRA treebanking:

1. Make a testsuite

General guidelines and formatting: http://compling.hss.ntu.edu.sg/courses/hg7021/testsuites.html

2. The testsuite should be placed in ~/ind/tsdb/skeletons

3. Add testsuite information in ~/ind/tsdb/skeletons/index.lisp

At the end of index.lisp: ((:path . "nameoftestsuite") (:content . "explanation"))

4. Make a shortcut of ind folder in ~/logon/ntu

5. Make a shortcut of skeletons folder in ~/logon/lingo/lkb/src/tsdb/skeletons

Rename that folder into ind

6. Make sure that the paths for ind skeletons etc. are in these files:

• ~/logon/bin/answer
• ~/logon/dot.tsdbrc
• ~/logon/parse

7. Run this command in logon$

~/logon$ ./parse --binary --ind --protocol 2 --best 1 --limit 0 --count 8 mrs

• 8 is the number of CPU. It can be checked in System Monitor.
• mrs is the name of testsuite folder.

8. Run [incr tsdb()]

• Database: Home/logon/lingo/lkb/src/tsdb/home/ind

• Skeleton: Home/logon/lingo/lkb/src/tsdb/skeletons/ind

  See GeFaqTsdbRc to make changes to the default Database and Skeleton paths

9. Activate external treebanking tool

Trees > Switches > External Treebanking Tool

10. To automatically update:

Compare > Source Database and choose a previously annotated file

then

Trees > Update : Automatic Update

11. To annotate:

Trees > Annotate

The profile will be saved in ~/logon/lingo/lkb/src/tsdb/home/ind/
