Non-Web Corpus Access

• Connect to SQL database (currently only on request, for safety reasons)
  Use 'anonymous' as the password.
  

    psql -h uvafon.hum.uva.nl -d ifacorpus -U anonymous
    

  or with pgaccess, open a new database with:
  • Host: uvafon.hum.uva.nl
  • Port: 5432
  • Database: ifacorpus
  • Username: anonymous
  • Password: anonymous

• Synchronize (or download) with CVS:
  Use 'anonymous' as the password, this contains all "non-speech" files.
  

    > cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@uvafon.hum.uva.nl:/u/cvs login
    anonymous
    > cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@uvafon.hum.uva.nl:/u/cvs checkout SLcorpus
    

  The corpus is quite large (>400 MB), so it might be a good idea to only checkout the required directories. Try:

  • SLcorpus/Transcriptions texts
  • SLcorpus/DatabaseFiles database tables (large)
  • SLcorpus/Labels/chunks paragraph label files
  • SLcorpus/Labels/sentences sentence level label files (>20,000 files)

• Use ConstructSLcdrom.pl and Links.pl (in a single directory) to download non-speech files and speech sound files (you need wget , cvs, and Perl on *nix). This takes at least 400 MB.

  Use:
  ConstructSLcdrom.pl [-g fileglob] <Speaker> [fm|hm] [destination]
  
  Example:
  > ConstructSLcdrom.pl -g 'F[RT]1[A-Z]' F20N
  
  This will download the complete repository using cvs
  and the read and retold versions of the first, Fixed story
  (i.e., 'the north wind and the sun') into the current directory.
  
  NOTE:
  Before you use this program, please log in to the CVS server (see Links.pl):
  > cvs -d:$CVSsource login
  $CVSpassword
  
  Example:
  > cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@uvafon.hum.uva.nl:/u/cvs login
  anonymous
