The LAPPS Grid is a framework for text analysis and text mining. It provides seamless access to a wide range of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools and resources (e.g., popular public tools such as StanfordNLP, OpenNLP, NLTK, LingPipe),as well as a state- of-the-art Open Advancement (OA) evaluation system developed at Carnegie Mellon University. Crucially, the LAPPS Grid provides for using all its tools and resources interoperably in a “plug-and-play” workflow environment, thereby eliminating the effort required to convert input and output formats to use a set of tools and/or resources together. The LAPPS Grid is also flexible and extensible, as tools and datasources are routinely added to the LAPPS Grid as required by various researchers and projects. The LAPPS Grid uses the Galaxy framework, a well-established, easy-to-use platform and interface originally intended for use by genomics researchers, as its workflow and data management system. The LAPPS Grid is open source (Apache 2.0 license) and free for use by anyone.
