POSSIBLE ENHANCEMENTS
Some possible enhancernents to the program have ai~ady been mentioned.
Others are:
- Different orderings of the concordance: The KWIC is now
erdered by keyword and right context, disregarding case and
diacritics, and treating the separamrs betwccn the words as one
space.
Tn some cases one might want other options, such as:
- stop words, Le. words that should be excluded as keywozds,
or pIus words. i.c. the only words to be used as keywords
- reverse alphabetical order, sorting by left context. or sorting
by altcmating right and Ieft contcxt words
- definition of othet character set orderings, multipl e characters,
etc
- ordering by substrings of words, e.g. end merphemes From a
plus Iist. (Then the KWIC is not really a KWIC my more.)
- Several orderings at once: If different orderings were possible,
one might even want to switch between arderings during one
coding proccss. (Tcchnicnlly, this is a fairly simple enhancement.)
- More "precise" coding: In order to dlow precise encoding of
other dernents khan words, expressions and points immediately
lo the left of words, it might be userul to be able to adjust -
character by character or code by codc - the area or point 10
be encoded.
- Restrictions: The possibility of enforcing rcstrictions like hier-
archical encoding onIy.
