Corpora downloader and reader for Spanish sources

Project description

Averell, the python library and command line interface that facilitates working with existing repositories of annotated poetry. Averell is able to download an annotated corpus and reconcile different TEI entities to provide a unified JSON output at the desired granularity. That is, for their investigations some researchers might need the entire poem, poems split line by line, or even word by word if that is available. Averell allows to specify the granularity of the final generated dataset, which is a combined JSON with all the entities in the selected corpora. Each corpus in the catalog must specify the parser to produce the expected data format.

export

Now we can combine and join these corpora through “granularity” selection:

averell export 2 3 --granularity line --corpora-folder my_corpora --filename export_1

It produces an single JSON file with information about all the lines in those corpora. Example of two random lines in the file mycorpora/export_1.json:

{
    "line_number": "5",
    "line_text": "¿Has visto que en el mismo lugar donde",
    "metrical_pattern": "++---+--++-",
    "stanza_number": "2",
    "manually_checked": false,
    "poem_title": " - II - ",
    "author": "Mira de Amescua",
    "stanza_text": "¿Has visto que en el mismo lugar donde\nbordado estuvo el cristalino velo\nun bordado terliz de escarcha y hielo\nhace que el campo de verdor se monde?",
    "stanza_type": "cuarteto"
}
{
    "line_number": "10",
    "line_text": "el que a lo cierto no a lo incierto mira,",
    "metrical_pattern": "---+-+-+-+-",
    "stanza_number": "3",
    "manually_checked": false,
    "poem_title": "- VIII - Considerando un sepulcro y los que están en él ",
    "author": "Lope de Zarate",
    "stanza_text": "De aquí si que consigue el ser dichoso\nel que a lo cierto no a lo incierto mira,\npues le adorna lo eterno fastuoso;",
    "stanza_type": "terceto"
}

By default, export will download corpora if needed. To avoid this behaviour, the flag --no-download can be passed in.

Exported corpora can be easily loaded into Pandas

averell export adso100 --filename adso100.json
import pandas as pd

adso100 = pd.read_json(open("adso100.json"))

A note on IDS

IDS can be numeric identifiers in the averell list output, corpus shortcodes (shown between parenthesis), the speciall literal all to refer to all corpora, or two-letter ISO language codes to refer to avaliable corpora in a specific language.

For example, the command averell export 1 bibit fr will export DISCO V2.1, the Biblioteca Italiana poetry corpus, and all corpora tagged with the French languge tag in a single file spliting poems line by line.
