This library enables you to process linguistic corpora with multiple levels
of annotations by:
1. converting the different annotation formats into separate graphs and
2. merging these graphs into a single multidigraph (based on the common
tokenization of the annotation layers)
3. exporting your (merged) graphs into several output formats
4. `visualizing linguistic graphs`_ directly in an `IPython notebook`_

.. _`IPython notebook`: http://ipython.org/notebook.html
Import formats
--------------
So far, the following formats can be imported and merged:
* `TigerXML`_ (a format for representing tree-like syntax graphs with
secondary edges)
* `NeGra Export Format`_ (a format used i.a. for the TüBa-D/Z Treebank)
* `Penn Treebank <http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~treebank/>`_ format (an s-expressions/lisp/brackets format for representing syntax trees)
* a number of formats for Rhetorical Structure Theory:
- RS3 (a format used by `RSTTool`_ to annotate documents with Rhetorical Structure Theory)
- the .dis "LISP" format used by the RST-DT corpus
- `URML`_ (a format for underspecified rhetorical structure trees)
* `MMAX2`_ (a format / GUI tool for annotating spans and connections between
them (e.g. coreferences)
* `CoNLL 2009`_ and `CoNLL 2010`_ formats (used for annotating i.a. dependency parses
and coreference links)
* ConanoXML (a format for annotating connectives, used by `Conano`_)
* Decour (an XML format used by a corpus of
`DEceptive statements in Italian COURts <http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2012/pdf/377_Paper.pdf>`_)
* `EXMARaLDA <http://exmaralda.org/>`_, a format for annotating spans in spoken
or written language
* an ad-hoc plain text format for annotating expletives (you're probably not
interested in)

Export formats
--------------
discoursegraphs can export graphs into the following formats /
for the following tools:
* dot format, which is used by the open source graph visualization software `graphviz`_
* geoff format, used by the `neo4j`_ graph database
* `GEXF <http://gexf.net/format/>`_ and `GraphML <http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/>`_
(common interchange formats for graphs used by various tools such as
`Gephi <https://gephi.github.io/>`_ and `Cytoscape <http://www.cytoscape.org/>`_)
* `PAULA XML 1.1 <https://www.sfb632.uni-potsdam.de/en/paula.html>`_, an exchange format
for linguistic data (exporter is still buggy)
* `EXMARaLDA <http://exmaralda.org/>`_, a tool for annotating spans in spoken
or written language
* `CoNLL 2009`_ (so far, only tokens, sentence boundaries and coreferences are exported)
Installation
------------
This should work on both Linux and Mac OSX using `Python 2.7`_ and
either `pip`_ or easy_install.
.. _`Python 2.7`: https://www.python.org/downloads/
.. _`pip`: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html
Install from PyPI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
pip install discoursegraphs # prepend 'sudo' if needed
or, if you're oldschool:
::
easy_install discoursegraphs # prepend 'sudo' if needed
Install from source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
sudo apt-get install python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev pkg-config graphviz-dev libgraphviz-dev -y
sudo easy_install -U setuptools
git clone https://github.com/arne-cl/discoursegraphs.git
cd discoursegraphs
sudo python setup.py install
Usage
-----
The command line interface of DiscourseGraphs allows you to
merge syntax, rhetorical structure, connectives and expletives
annotation files into one graph and to store this graph in one of several
output formats (e.g. the `geoff`_ format used by the `neo4j`_ graph database
or the `dot`_ format used by the graphviz plotting tool).
.. _`neo4j`: http://www.neo4j.org/
.. _`dot`: http://www.graphviz.org/content/dot-language
.. _`geoff`: http://www.neo4j.org/develop/python/geoff
::
discoursegraphs -t syntax/maz-13915.xml -r rst/maz-13915.rs3 -c connectors/maz-13915.xml -a anaphora/tosik/das/maz-13915.txt -o dot
dot -Tpdf doc.dot > discoursegraph.pdf # generates a PDF from the dot file
If you're interested in working with just one of those layers, you'll
have to call the code directly::
import discoursegraphs as dg
tiger_docgraph = dg.read_tiger('syntax/doc.xml')
rst_docgraph = dg.read_rs3('rst/doc.rs3')
expletives_docgraph = dg.read_anaphoricity('expletives/doc.txt')
All the document graphs generated in this example are derived from the
`networkx.MultiDiGraph`_ class, so you should be able to use all of its
methods.

Documentation
-------------
Source code documentation is available
`here <https://pythonhosted.org/pypolibox/>`_, but you can always get an
up-to-date local copy using `Sphinx`_.
You can generate an HTML or PDF version by running these commands in
the ``docs`` directory::
make latexpdf
to produce a PDF (``docs/_build/latex/discoursegraphs.pdf``) and ::
make html
to produce a set of HTML files (``docs/_build/html/index.html``).
.. _`Sphinx`: http://sphinx-doc.org/
Requirements
------------
- `lxml <http://lxml.de/>`_
- `networkx <http://networkx.github.io/>`_
If you'd like to visualize your graphs, you will also need:
- `graphviz <http://graphviz.org/>`_
- `pygraphviz <http://pygraphviz.github.io/>`_
