STANLEYSecurity/PACBook
I guess programmers and web developers would look at it and think, "XML?
XSLT? What is this, 2006?" Well, it was when I started developing it...
It's
certainly true that XML / XSLT has fallen out of favour with
developers. There may be perfectly good reasons for that; I don't know,
I'm (primarily) a linguist not a programmer. I imagine those
technologies were originally stretched far beyond what they were suited
for and have since retreated to their natural domain. XML still has a
niche within the digital humanities, and I would maintain that XSLT is
perfectly adapted for computational linguistics; it is, after all, based
around transformations, and transformational grammar is an important
model in linguistics.
I'm presenting a paper on the linguistic
parts of PACBook, i.e. the linguistic markup and transformations, at the
Manchester Forum in Linguistics conference in November: https://mfilconf.co.uk/archive/mfil-2015/
Now that I've left Stanley I need to fork that repository so that I can carry on developing it... I'll let you know when I've done so.
