GreParl

A simple web-app-based Search Engine built on top of the Greek Parliament Proceedings

Name

grep + Greek Parliament

Install

1. Run (ideally in a fresh venv) pip install greparl
2. Download the required data files and, if needed, decompress them in the desired directory (see below)

Run

1. Activate venv
2. Run greparl and wait for signs of life..
3. The default browser should open up automatically, but if not, browse to "http://127.0.0.1:5000/" manually

Data Files

The required data files that are not shipped along with the package include the Search Engine's indices, the parliament proceedings' file and some other tasty stuff.

• The raw proceedings can be downloaded here: speeches.csv
• The Search Engine's core can be downloaded here: information-retrieval.tar.gz

Those files should be decompressed in the same directory from which the user will run the GreParl.

Alternatively, all required files (apart from speeches.csv) can be auto-generated.

Important Notes

The author of this package is not the creator of Search Engine's core. All credits should go to Theodoros Grammenos' work. This project is just a graphical wrapper, trying to make life easier :D

Also, note that this projects ships a modified version of alup's greek_stemmer, which is originally distributed under MIT License.
