[CWB] CWB+CQPweb vs NoSketch

[Hardie, Andrew]

Well I’ve never used the “NoSketch” version, only SketchEngine, so I can’t comment on the former.

best

Andrew.

Dear Andrew,
If you want someone to flame on Manatee and SketchEngine, it won’t be me or Stefan, I’m afraid. The SketchEngine people do an excellent job. It’s not exactly the job we want to do, which is why CWB is progressing in accordance with somewhat different design priorities, but relative to their specific goals their work is top-of-the-field.
WRT the 2 billion word limit – yes, this is a known issue which is the result of CWB’s historic prioritisation of backward compatibility with design decisions made in 1992. The Ziggurat project is designed to fix this by making a clean break for v4. You can read about it on the website.

I do not think it was you Bohdan wanted to "flame" :-)

Nevertheless, it might be quite interesting to hear your opinion about the main differences between CWB and NoSketch Engine (the Sketch Engine, being a commercial system, is a different cup of coffee), either from the "design priorities" perspective, of just as a "user feel" difference of both systems.  (I do not expect you not to by familiar with the functionalities of the NoSketch Engine ;-)

Best regards,

Vlado B, 9:45
