Internal representation

For the inquisitive, the internal database representation of the attributes of "Mutter" is (in one line):

Mutter mU!t6 nomen_akk,fem,sg,@empty@,@empty@,Raute,@empty@; nomen,nom,fem,sg,@empty@,@empty@,Raute,@empty@ Nom,OBJEKTTYP nom

The header records describe the main features of the database. The main attributes are described in Record 1, the vectorised attributes are described in detail in Record 2, and the filenames of the converted databases are given in Record 3. The records have four main fields each, separated by white space, and are standard UNIX lines (Note: in this text file they may cover several text lines). The file information is used in generating the database, and may be used in future more sophisticated access and extraction strategies.

Record 1:
Orth A3 B1 C1 D1
Record 2:
Orth A3.Phon B1.Wortart,B1.Kasus,B1.Genus,B1.Num,B1.Detagr,B1.Definit, B1.Semobj,B1.Semattr C1.Syncat1_C1.Syncat2 D1.Syncat
Record 3:
reference.ort a3joha.lex b1naeve.lex c1jung.lex d1peters.lex
