For everybody who doesn't know what to do at the long weekend (it's a
bank holiday in the UK on Monday), this might be what you were waiting
for:

QTAG, the portable, probabilistic, and language-independent parts-of-speech
tagger, is now available as a stand-alone 100% Java program. This means
you no longer need a Unix server to provide you with the resource data.

The new version, 2.0, can be downloaded from

http://www-clg.bham.ac.uk/oliver/java/qtag/

together with two sets of resource files, one for English and one for German.
Documentation on the tagsets used for these resource files is also provided.
I would appreciate if anybody training QTAG on other data could contribute
their resource files, so that there can be a collection available for other
tagsets/languages as well.

Oliver Mason
