ABSTRACT. TAPoRware: Exposing Texts to Text Analysis.

Typically electronic texts are bundled with the tools to search them and analyze them. The TAPoR project is developing an alternative paradigm where tools are made available through a portal that can manipulate well-behaved texts anywhere on the Internet. This allows small projects to not have to develop sophisticated search tools and instead concentrate on the electronic edition. It also allows researchers to try unforseen methods on e-texts, if those e-texts are exposed in a fashion that makes them tractable to remote processing. In this paper Geoffrey Rockwell will demonstrate the TAPoRware tools which prototype the TAPoR paradigm for interacting with e-texts. He will then discuss the model for the full TAPoR portal in which the TAPoRware tools will be included.
