Thomas Aquinas in the TüNDRA: Integrating the Index Thomisticus Treebank into CLARIN-D

This paper describes the integration of the Index Thomisticus Treebank (IT-TB) into the web-based treebank search and visualization application TüNDRA (Tübingen aNnotated Data Retrieval & Analysis). TüNDRA was originally designed to provide access via the Internet to constituency treebanks and to tools for searching and visualizing them, as well as tabulating statistics about their contents. TüNDRA has now been extended to also provide full support for dependency treebanks with non-projective dependencies, in order to integrate the IT-TB and future treebanks with similar properties. These treebanks are queried using an adapted form of the TIGERSearch query language, which can search both hierarchical and sequential information in treebanks in a single query. As a web application, making the IT-TB accessible via TüNDRA makes the treebank and the tools to use of it available to a large community without having to distribute software and show users how to install it.
