Documentation and Support

As of January 1996, limited documentation is available on the following topics:

type system: overview, theoretical background and complete user-level documentation;
feature editor: complete user and interface documentation;
unifier: reference documentation on functional interface and feature structure description language;
parser: reference documentation on parameterization and tuning;
installation: basic instructions for initial setup and startup.

It is foreseen to complete the set of user-level documentation and complement it with a tutorial on grammar development and running the system.

Technical support is available from the DFKI computational linguistics department with the restrictions that naturally apply to non-commercial academic software. Because of the lack of complete documentation, instructions and assistance on installing, operating, and porting the PAGE system are provided. Additionally, DFKI aims to supply bug fixes, integrate future developments (see below), and --- with some limitations --- assistance in adapting the software to future operating system or Common-Lisp versions as well as in porting it to additional platforms.
