KorAP Ingestion

Converts TEI XML files to KorAP XML, annotates them with TreeTagger, Marmot, Malt, Spacy, CoreNLP, OpenNLP, indexes them and starts a KorAP instance.

Usage (TEI I5)

By default, place your .i5.xml files in the I5 directory in the root of the project:

make

Alternatively, you can specify a different source directory containing your .i5.xml files using the SRC_DIR variable:

make SRC_DIR=/path/to/your/files

Then open http://localhost:64543 in your browser.

If port 64543 is already in use on your host (e.g. by another process or IDE port-forwarding helper), you can specify a different host port using the KORAP_PORT variable:

make KORAP_PORT=64544

Then open the corresponding URL (e.g., http://localhost:64544) in your browser.

Standard TEI P5 Support

Standard TEI P5 files (which typically contain one text per file) can be batch-converted together. By default, place your .xml files in the TEI directory in the root of the project:

make

All files in the TEI directory will be packaged into a single KorAP-XML zip archive.

You can specify a different source directory using the TEI_DIR variable:

make TEI_DIR=/path/to/your/tei/files

By default, texts are assigned automatic three-part KorAP/DeReKo sigles starting from:

--auto-textsigle 'TEI/XYZ.00001'

You can customize this or define a mapping from the xml:id of each text to a sigle. For example, if your XML files have IDs like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TEI xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" xml:id="SK.UL.1981.1" version="3.4.0">
  <teiHeader>

You can extract the three-part sigle (e.g., SK/UL/19811) by overriding the TEI_FLAGS variable with a matching regular expression:

make TEI_FLAGS='--xmlid-to-textsigle '\''([A-Z]+)\.(.*)\.([0-9]+)\.*([0-9])@$$1/$$2/$$3$$4'\'''

Using Inline Annotations

If your source XML files already contain tokenization, sentence boundaries, and inline annotations that you want to use directly, you can set the USE_INLINE_ANNOTATIONS_AS variable to the name of the inline tokens foundry (e.g., gingko). This will pass the --no-tokenizer --inline-tokens <foundry-name> flags to tei2korapxml instead of the default -s -tk (sentence splitting and tokenization) flags:

make USE_INLINE_ANNOTATIONS_AS=gingko

Configuring Active Annotators

You can specify which annotation layers to run and package by setting the ANNOTATIONS variable. By default, it runs: marmot-malt tree_tagger spacy corenlp opennlp wikidomain

To enable gender annotation (using the conllu-gender tool), add gender to the list:

make ANNOTATIONS="marmot-malt tree_tagger spacy corenlp opennlp gender"

Topic-domain Classification (stand-off metadata)

wikidomain is a special annotation: instead of a per-text foundry zip it produces a single stand-off metadata XML per corpus (build/<corpus>.wikidomain.meta.xml) holding Wikipedia top-level topic-domain classifications, generated with the korap/wiki-taxonomy Docker image. korapxmltool auto-detects these .meta.xml files and folds them into the Krill index as a wikidomain keywords field, queryable per text in KorAP.

It is enabled by default. Such metadata-producing layers are listed in META_ANNOTATIONS (default: wikidomain); everything else in ANNOTATIONS is treated as a foundry zip. To build just the classifications without indexing:

make meta

To disable it, drop it from ANNOTATIONS (e.g. make ANNOTATIONS="marmot-malt spacy").
