= Test of RLP (Rosette Linguistics Platform) =

== RLP ==
  * RLP: version 6.5.2 (platform dependent)
  * RLP-Lucene: version 6.0.0 (Java library: platform independent)
== Hardware, operating system ==
  * Mac Pro, Dual Core Intel Xeon 2,66 Ghz, 4GB RAM
  * MacOS 10.5.4
== Indexing ==
  * done on eXist with Lucene (eXist 1.3dev)
  * document base: Archimedes and Echo: 113 documents, sized between 1 KB and 18 MB, languages: latin, italian, english, german, french, dutch, greek, arabic, chinese
  * needed 1,3 hours (83 minutes)
  * took most of the time full processor time (100%)
  * RAM consumption ok (< 1000 MB)
== Result / Quality of indexing (random samples) ==
  * indexing result: see morphological index on: [http://xserve07.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de:30010/mpdl/query.xql MPDL prototype with RLP analyzer] (access only within MPIWG network)
  * example: morphological index lookup in: [http://xserve07.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de:30010/mpdl/page-query-result.xql?document=/archimedes/la/delfi_fluxu_024_la_1559.xml&pn=1&mode=text&query-type=ftIndexMorph&query=a&query-result-pn=1 for "a" in Delfino, Federico. De fluxu et refluxu aquae maris. Venice, 1559]

      * RLP misses: 5%
    * arabic: Heron Alexandrinus. Mechanica. Leipzig, 1900. Morphological index for "a"
      * RLP: 330 base forms
      * Donatus: 325 base forms
      * RLP misses: 2%
    * chinese: no base form reduction
    * overall: RLP misses xx % in base form reduction in contrast to Donatus
  * base form reduction of latin "sunt": comparison of RLP and Donatus (in Benedetti, Giovanni Battista de. Diversarum Speculationum mathematicum, & physicarum liber. 1585.)
    * RLP: 259 sentence hits
    * Donatus: 1655 sentence hits (with all forms: ens, entibus, entis, eram, eramus, erant, erantque, erat, eratque, erimus, eris, erit, eritin, eritque, eritqueue, ero, erunt, erunt., eruntque, es, esne, esse, essemus, essent, esseque, esset, est, estis, esto, estque, fore, forem, forent, fores, foret, fuam, fuat, fueram, fueramus, fuerant, fueras, fuerat, fuere, fuerim, fuerimus, fuerin, fuerint, fuerintque, fueris, fuerit, fueritne, fueritque, fuero, fuerunt, fui, fuimus, fuisse, fuissent, fuisset, fuit, fuitque, futura, futuram, futurarum, futuras, futuri, futuris, futuro, futurorum, futuros, futurum, futurumst, futurus, sient, siet, sim, simus, sint, sintque, sis, sit, sitis, sitque, sum, sumus, sunt, sunto, suntque)
    * RLP misses: 84%
  * double entries: same word forms leads to different base forms: examples
    * babylonian, babylonians
    * back­doors, back­-doors, back­-door
    * fleisse, fleissigen, fleiß, fleißig
  * orthographic normalization: error base forms (examples)
    * f., fisi-, e@@et, e@t, 
    * c.a, c.b, c.d, c.e, c.f, ..., c.sit, ..., c.y, d.c.sit, d-ui, e-tago, fa-cere, face-re
    * ca-liditatem, ca-lor, ca-lorem, ...
    * single characters: a, b, c, ... 
  * count hits: errors (examples)
    * fotografie: 10 hits (actually 5 hits)
    * 編 : 1 hit (actually 15 hits)
  * overall
    * better indexing time than Online-Donatus (60% faster)
    * RLP produces many errors (much more errors as Donatus)
    * it is not platform independent
    * is not open software
    * it costs much money
    * therefore: RLP will not be used
