JarCastingtiger2-api
<tiger2/> is a standard conformant XML format modelled to express syntactic structures for a wide variety of theoretical formalisms and corpus architectures. It is closely related to and develops the ideas found in TigerXML: the declared goal of the project is to expand TigerXML only as much as required for the representation of current advanced syntactic resources, without any changes that are not strictly necessary and might increase the learning curve or require substantial alterations to existing tools. The format is similarly conceived as theory neutral, as it is suited to both shallow and deep parsing in any number of theories and supports both pure constituency and dependency trees, as well as combinations of the two.
is extensible to any number of new annotation forms for both syntactic nodes and edges through a typing system and gives users the ability to define custom annotations that apply to only certain kinds of nodes and edges.

Usage
The tiger2-api is mainly developed to be used as an api in other tools, but it also contains a command line user interface to convert data between the TigerXML format and the format.
use as a library
The easiest way to include the tiger2-api into your tool is via maven.
<dependency>
<groupId>de.hu_berlin.german.korpling</groupId>
<artifactId>tiger2-api</artifactId>
<version>VERSION</version>
<dependency>
The artifact is hosted under the following repository
<repository>
<id>korpling</id>
<name>korpling maven repo</name>
<url>http://korpling.german.hu-berlin.de/maven2</url>
</repository>
use as command line interface
- First you need to build the tool, therefore it is necessary to have maven on your computer. Open the folder of the tiger2-api and run the following command in a command line.
mvn install
- After compiling you can now start the tool via
bash tiger2converter.sh PARAMETER (*nix)
or
tiger2converter.bat PARAMETER (Windows)
Where PARAMETER is defined as follows:
-i INPUT_FILE -o OUTPUT_FILE [direction]
INPUT_FILE determines an input file or folder
OUTPUT_FOLDER determines the output folder
direction:
-t2_t transforms tigerXML data into <tiger2/> data
-t_t2 transforms <tiger2/> data into tigerXML data
-t_t transforms tigerXML data into tigerXML data
-t2_t2 transforms <tiger2/> data into <tiger2/> data
