CTexT NCHLT services #167

Open dietervu opened 10 months ago

Suggested by Friedel, see https://hlt.nwu.ac.za/

my first response by mail:

Looks like an excellent candidate for integration. It would even be the first of its kind for certain tasks (such as OCR).

Technically it would mostly be a matter of aligning how the API/web application can be called.

Looking at https://hlt.nwu.ac.za/docs/help/

it seems there are few things that would need to be changed:

  • remove the need to acquire a token before calling the service
  • allow for a GET call instead of a POST call (we once looked at allowing POST calls too but this proved too problematic in combination with Shibbolized services)

For the rest it would be a matter of looking into the details described at:

I have put André and colleagues in CC via switchboard@clarin.eu in case some follow-up is needed.
