Thomas Aquinas in the TüNDRA: Integrating the Index Thomisticus Treebank into CLARIN-D

This paper describes the integration of the Index Thomisticus Treebank (IT-TB) into the web-based treebank search and visualization application T¨uNDRA (T¨ubingen aNnotated Data Retrieval & Analysis). T¨uNDRA was originally designed to provide access via the Internet to constituency treebanks and to tools for searching and visualizing them, as well as tabulating statistics about their contents. T¨uNDRA has now been extended to also provide full support for dependency treebanks with non-projective dependencies, in order to integrate the IT-TB and future treebanks with similar properties. These treebanks are queried using an adapted form of the TIGERSearch query language, which can search both hierarchical and sequential information in treebanks in a single query. As a web application, making the IT-TB accessible via T¨uNDRA makes the treebank and the tools to use of it available to a large community without having to distribute software and show users how to install it.
