CLAM: Computational Linguistics Application Mediator<br />
Abstract<br />

TiCC, Tilburg University<br />
The Computational Linguistics Application Mediator (CLAM) allows you to quickly and<br />
transparently transform your Natural Language Processing application into a RESTful<br />
webservice, with which automated clients can communicate, but which at the same<br />
time also acts as a modern webapplication with which human end-users can interact<br />
directly. CLAM takes a description of your system and wraps itself around the system. It<br />
allows both automated clients and human end-users to upload input files to your<br />
application, start your application with specific parameters, and download or directly<br />
view the output files produced by your application after it has completed execution.<br />
Rich support for metadata and provenance data is also provided.<br />
CLAM is set up in a universal fashion, making it flexible enough to be wrapped around a<br />
wide range of computational linguistic applications. These applications are treated as a<br />
black box, of which only the parameters, input formats, and output formats need to be<br />
described. The applications themselves need not be network-aware in any way, nor<br />
aware of CLAM. The handling and validation of input is taken care of by CLAM.<br />
