6.1. CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURE OF THE UNIARAB SYSTEM 6.1 Conceptual structure of the UniArab system The conceptual structure of the UniArab system is shown in figure 6.2. The system accepts Arabic as its source language. The morphology parser and word tokenizer have a connection to the lexicon which holds all attributes of a word. Figure 6.2: The conceptual architecture of the UniArab system UniArab stores data in XML format. This data can then be queried, exported and se- rialized into any format the developer wishes. The system can understand the part of speech of a word, agreement features, number, gender and the word type. The syntactic parse unpacks the agreement features between elements of the Arabic sentence into a semantic representation (the logical structure) with the ‘state of affairs’ of the sentence. 80
6.1. CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURE OF THE UNIARAB SYSTEM In UniArab we intend to have a strong analysis system that can extract all attributes from the words in a sentence. 6.1.1 Technical architecture of the UniArab system The structure of the UniArab system in Figure 6.2 breaks down into the following phases: Phase (1) - Arabic language sentence. The input to the system consists of one or more sentences in Arabic. Phase (2) - Sentence Tokenizer. Tokenization is the process of demarcating and classi- fying sections of a string of input characters. In this phase the system splits the text into sentence tokens. The resulting tokens are then passed to the word tokenizer phase. For example qr֓a hāld ālktāb. hāld tlmyd ˘ ˘ ¯ d ¯ ky. will be two tokens; qr֓a hāld ālktāb and ˘ hāld ˘ tlmyd ¯ d ¯ ky the translation of these two sentences is Khalid read the book. Khalid is a clever student. Phase (3) Word Tokenizer There, sentences are split into tokens qr֓a hāld ālktāb Khalid read the book, the output of phase 3 is as follows; ˘ qr֓a h ˘ āld ālkt āb Phase (4) Lexicon Datasource A set of XML documents for each component category of Arabic. Phase (5) Morphology Parser Directly works with both the Lexicon and Tokenizer to produce the word order. A connection is made to the datasource of phase 4 which 81
