Importing xml files to run commands in clan?

[Vivienne Rogers]

Hello

I'm sorry to ask what is probably a stupid question. One of my phd students is working with OUP and they've offered her access to one of their corpora so we can run some lexical diversity measures on it. We'd like to use CLAN. However, the corpus will be in an xml format. How do I best import/convert that to .cha files for use with CLAN? I haven't yet received a sample of their files. Is there anything specific I need to ask them to include in their file?

Many thanks

Vivienne

Vivienne,

XML is just a wrapper. The conversion to cha will depend on what is the actual format of the data. We have cha formatted files in XML wrapper too. We use CHATTER app to got from XML cha format to plain text cha formatted files that CLAN uses. We also have following converters to convert files from other formats to .cha format for CLAN. The conversion process for the OUP data will depend on what exactly that data looks like.

Dear Leonid 

Thanks for this. I’ll wait until I get the sample file from OUP and then I’ll be in a better position to know what format the files take.
