Alpino webservice

(Licensed under the GNU Public License v3)

This is a webservice for Alpino, a dependency parser for Dutch developed at the University of Groningen. The webservice is powered by CLAM. It offers a RESTful API as well as a web-interface for human end-users.

This webservice has support for FoLiA input/output.

Installation

Clone this repository, create a virtual environment and install the webservice as follows:

$ python3 -m venv env
$ . env/bin/activate
$ ./startserver_development.sh

Navigate to http://localhost:8080.

Note that for this to work, Alpino must already be installed on your system (and in your $PATH with $ALPINO_HOME also set).

$ docker run -p 8080:80 -v /path/to/data/dir:/data proycon/alpino_webservice
