Introduction

LexCheck is to validate the text syntax of lexical record(s) based on syntax defined in the SPECIALIST LEXICON Technical Report.

• Input
  • lexical record(s) in text format
• Output
  • Lexical records in text format
  • Lexical records in xml format
  • Lexical records in JavaObj
  • Inflectional variables
• Option
  • lexical records as the input for LexBuild and LexAccess DB
  • Change indent in text and xml format

A lexical record is the record for all information for a term (entry). The lexicon is the data set contains all lexical records. These records are stored in text form in LexBuild/LexAccess database. LexCheck read into these records and validate the syntax. Bellows are the validation steps:

• Read in the lexical record(s)
• Parse lexical records line by line, token by token, filler by filler, etc..
• Validate order, occurence, format, etc.
• If error found, stop the program and sent out the error message
• If it passes validation:
  • Store in JavaObj(s)
  • Sent out lexical records in text format
  • Sent out lexical records in xml format
  • Sent out lexical records as in JavaObj
  • Sent out inflectional variables
