MEDIEVAL : A Navigation Tool Through Medieval Documents

The integration of databases and natural language is becoming an important research field. Most of th database systems are taking advantage of th large progress of research in natural language to improve user interaction. The other way around is also a plausible approach :the use of databases in the services of NLP.This usage must not b restrict d to th static storage of natural language utilities (dictionaries,thesaurus ..),but can be extended to support dynamically the results of linguistic analysis and to improv the information extraction task. In this framework, the aim of MEDIEVAL or “Modèl d’EDition Informatisée d’Ecrits médiévaux, Visualisée par ALignement” is to build a model for medieval text alignment and dev lop a tool for the navigation through these manuscripts.
