Multiservice

This page offers the official Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License release of the Multiservice, a robust linguistic Web service for Polish, combining several mature offline linguistic tools in a common online platform. By downloading the package you accept the conditions of that licence.

Packaged TEI P5-based annotation is used as representation format for the service. Apache Thrift is used for data exchange between underlying tools. In contrast to most frequent approaches, the architecture supports asynchronous handling of requests to enable processing large amounts of text.
