    LPath+: A first-order complete languagefor linguistic tree query
    Lai, C. ; Bird, S. G. (Academia Sinica, 2005)
    Annotated linguistic databases are widely used in linguistic research and inlanguage technology development. These annotations are typically hierarchical,and represent the nested structure of syntactic and prosodic constituents. Recently,the LPath language has been proposed as a convenient path-based language forquerying linguistic trees. We establish the formal expressiveness of LPath relativeto the XPath family of languages. We also extend LPath to permit simple closures,resulting in a first-order complete language which we believe is sufficientlyexpressive for the majority of linguistic tree query needs.

    Functional requirements for an interlinear text editor
    HUGHES, BADEN ; BOW, CATHERINE ; BIRD, STEVEN (European Language Resources Association, 2004)
    Interlinear text has long been considered a valuable format in the presentation of multilingual data, and a variety of software tools have facilitated the creation and processing of such texts by researchers. Despite the diversity of tools, a common core of editorial functionality is provided. Identifying these core functions has important implications for software engineers who seek to efficiently build tools that support interlinear text editing. While few applications are specifically designed for the creation or manipulation of interlinear text, a number of tools offer varying degrees of incidental support for this modality. In this paper we provide a comprehensive set of critieria upon which the derivation of functional criteria can be based. We describe the basis on which a group of tools was selected for investigation, along with the evaluation criteria. Finally we consolidate our findings into a functional specification for the development of software applications for the editing of interlinear text.
