言語データベース統合管理システム
Abstract:This paper describes a linguistic database management system which connects
object-oriented representation and a relational database(RDB), synergistically deals
with copious multi-aspect linguistic data and provides natural language
understanding researchers with a user-friendly interface. Natural language
understanding research requires a linguistic database which includes multi-aspect
information from linguistic phenomena. Requirements for linguistic data can be
classified into two types, i.e., micro and macro analysis. Micro analysis of text in
detail requires a complex multi-aspect linguistic data search. Macro analysis of global
differences between different field linguistic phenomena requires a large database. To
achieve two quite different research requirements this database system is arranged
as a vertically distributed database system. In workstations, object-oriented
representation is adopted to easily effect complex data searches. High performance
workstations are used to effectively provide user-friendly interfaces for researchers. In
a host computer, RDB which is extended to manipulate multi-value is adopted to
treat a large amount of linguistic data and to get statistical linguistic data.
