Multiservice
ICS PAS Multiservice is a robust linguistic Web service for Polish, combining several mature offline linguistic tools in a common online platform. Packaged TEI P5-based annotation is used as representation format for the service. Apache Thrift is used for data exchange between underlying tools.
In contrast to most frequent approaches, the architecture supports asynchronous handling of requests to enable processing large amounts of text.
