Parse and create registry files.

A set of functions to parse, create and write registry files.

registry_file_parse(corpus, registry_dir = Sys.getenv("CORPUS_REGISTRY"))

registry_file_compose(x)

registry_data(name, id, home, info = file.path(home, ".info", fsep =
  "/"), properties = c(charset = "utf-8"), p_attributes,
  s_attributes = character())

registry_file_write(data, corpus,
  registry_dir = Sys.getenv("CORPUS_REGISTRY"), ...)

Arguments

corpus	A CWB corpus indicated by a length-one character vector.
registry_dir	Directory with registry files.
x	An object of class registry_data.
name	Long descriptive name of corpus (character vector).
id	Short name of corpus (character vector).
home	Path with data directory for indexed corpus.
info	A character vector containing path name of info file.
properties	Named character vector with corpus properties, should at least include 'charset'.
p_attributes	A character vector with positional attributes to declare.
s_attributes	A character vector with structural attributes to declare.
data	A registry_data object.
...	further parameters

Details

registry_file_parse will return an object of class registry_data.

See the appendix to the 'Corpus Encoding Tutorial' (http://cwb.sourceforge.net/files/CWB_Encoding_Tutorial.pdf), which includes an explanation of the registry file format.

registry_file_compose will turn an registry_data-object into a character vector with a registry file that can be written to disk.

registry_file_write will compose a registry file from data and write it to disk.

Examples

regdata <- registry_file_parse(
  corpus = "REUTERS",
  registry_dir = system.file(package = "RcppCWB", "extdata", "cwb", "registry")
  )
