KonText: Advanced and Flexible Corpus Query Interface
Tomáš Machálek
Proceedings of the Twelfth Language Resources and Evaluation Conference
We present an advanced, highly customizable corpus query interface KonText built on top of core libraries of the open-source corpus search engine NoSketch Engine (NoSkE). The aim is to overcome some limitations of the original NoSkE user interface and provide integration capabilities allowing connection of the basic search service with other language resources (LRs). The introduced features are based on long-term feedback given by the users and researchers of the Czech National Corpus (CNC) along with other LRs providers running KonText as a part of their services. KonText is a fully operational and mature software deployed at the CNC since 2014 that currently handles thousands user queries per day.
Word at a Glance: Modular Word Profile Aggregator

Proceedings of the Twelfth Language Resources and Evaluation Conference
Word at a Glance (WaG) is a word profile aggregator that provides means for exploring individual words, their comparison and translation, based on existing language resources and related software services. It is designed as a building kit-like application that fetches data from different sources and compiles them into a single, comprehensible and structured web page. WaG can be easily configured to support many tasks, but in general, it is intended to be used not only by language experts but also the general public.
