Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Dmitry Shachnev <mitya57@debian.org> * Package name : snowball-data Version : 0+20191003-1 Upstream Author : Snowball developers <snowball-discuss@lists.tartarus.org> * URL : https://github.com/snowballstem/snowball-data * License : BSD-3-clause, GPL-3+, CC-BY-SA-3.0, CC-BY-SA-4.0 Programming Lang: none Description : test data for Snowball stemming algorithms Snowball provides access to efficient algorithms for calculating a "stemmed" form of a word. This is a form with most of the common morphological endings removed; hopefully representing a common linguistic base form. This is most useful in building search engines and information retrieval software; for example, a search with stemming enabled should be able to find a document containing "cycling" given the query "cycles". Snowball provides algorithms for several (mainly European) languages. It also provides access to the classic Porter stemming algorithm for English: although this has been superseded by an improved algorithm, the original algorithm may be of interest to information retrieval researchers wishing to reproduce results of earlier experiments. This package contains the test data, which is used by Snowball test suite. In March I discussed it with snowball maintainer on IRC and he said that the test data should be a separate source package. -- Dmitry Shachnev
