Qawl 1.0 and Qawl 2.0. Intentions, Actual State and Future Developments

Primary tabs

Moureau, Sébastien [The Warburg Institute, Univeristy of London]

Qawl is a free computer program for searchers, which offers a library of around 2000 Arabic volumes (version 2.0 will offer more than 4700 volumes, containing more than 2000 works). This program also provides a research algorithm enabling one to find any word or sequence of words matching a given query, the automatic identification of parallel passages (sources, quotations, etc.) of any given selection of text by comparing it to the entire library, and a handy help for the translation and analysis of Arabic words and sentences via various webtools. The paper will focus on the origin of the creation of Qawl and on its actual state, and focus on the further developments of it. The program can be downloaded at http://www.uclouvain.be/qawl/.
