This site now
contains
the latest versions of
- ASDEditor (1.10a) - a
graphical editor for ASD grammars. To run it in
Microsoft Windows, download the asddigraphs.jar executable jar
file (see below) and double-click on that file.
- ASDParser (1.08) - a
left-corner, bottom-up parser that uses ASD grammars
- ASDDecider (1.01) - a
modification of ASDParser to permit ASD grammar networks to be
used as
decision networks, and to search them with unordered sets of decision
parameter value tokens, instead of the ordered lists of lexical
tokens
which make up the phrases that ASDParser parses.
as
well
as the utility programs
- ASDCheck (1.01) -
checks
an ASD grammar for well-formedness and also counts words and
phrase
types, nodes and edges in the grammar
- ASDCount(1.01) -
counts
words and phrase types, nodes, and total lines of text in an ASD
grammar file
- ASDDeciderTester(1.01)
-
allows testing of ASD grammars used as decision networks with
ASDDecider; it is a modification of ASDTester.
- ASDParseTest (1.02) -
allows testing of ASD grammars and parsing; has a command-line
user
interface
- ASDTester (1.06) -
allows
testing of ASD grammars and parsing, including stepwise parsing
and
display of phrase structure at each step; has a graphical user
interface
- DefinedUsed (1.02) -
cross references ASD grammar files and the phrase types defined
and
used in them
- MergeGrammars (1.01) -
merges ASD grammars from separate files into a single file
ASDEditor,ASDParser, ASDDecider, ASDCheck, and MergeGrammars are in each of
the
files asddigraphs.jar,
asddigraphs.zip,
and asddigraphs.tar.gz.
ASDTester, ASDDeciderTester, and DefinedUsed are in the files asdx.jar,
asdx.zip,
and
asdx.tar.gz
. ASDCount and ASDParseTest are classes
defined in the Java default package; but ASDParseTest uses classes in
the
asddigraphs
archive file.
To run the software you will need the Java Run-time
Environment
(JRE), which can be downloaded from Oracle's
Java
download
site . If you want to develop additional
examples
in Java that use the ASDParser, you will of course need the full
Java
development
environment (Software Development Kit, or SDK), which can be
downloaded
from the same site. You may also want to explore Oracle's
main
Java site .
Downloadable files containing
ASD
software
and utilities other than examples:
- asddigraphs.jar - a
Java
Archive
file that contains the latest versions of the ASDEditor,
the ASDParser,
and the ASDDecider,
as well as utility programs ASDCheck and MergeGrammars,
implemented
in Java SE 6.
More
specifically, it contains classes belonging to two packages: asd
and digraphs.
See the release notes and javadoc
documentation for details of their use.. The
current version of asddigraphs.jar is an executable jar
file which, when run (for instance by double-clicking it in
Windows), runs ASDEditor.
- asddigraphs.zip - a
zip
file
containing
the asddigraphs.jar file
- asddigraphs.tar.gz
-
a
compressed
version of the asddigraphs.jar file suitable for
downloading
to
Unix systems.
- asdx.jar - a Java Archive file that
contains
compiled
code for the latest versions of the utility programs ASDTester
and DefinedUsed,
whose source code is available via links below.
- asdx.zip - a zip file containing the
asdx.jar
file.
- asdx.tar.gz - a compressed version
of
the asdx.jar
file suitable for downloading to Unix systems.
- ASDTester.java - the
Java
source
code for a program to test ASD grammars with the
ASDParser. This
program is a major improvement over ASDParseTest (see
below).
It runs in its own window and sends its output to a scrollable
pane in
that window, rather than to System.out. The program is
included
in
the package asdx, which is in each of the downloadable binary
files
asdx.jar,
asdx.zip, and asdx.tar.gz .
ASDTester can be run with one of the following commands:
From an MS-Windows command window: java -cp
asddigraphs.jar;asdx.jar;.
asdx/ASDTester
From a Unix command window: java -cp
asddigraphs.jar:asdx.jar:.
asdx/ASDTester
Alternatively, if you add the asddigraphs.jar and asdx.jar
files to your system's CLASSPATH, then you can simply use
java asdx/ASDTester
See the release notes for more
details
about the latest version..
- DefinedUsed.java
- the
Java source
code for a tool for indexing and cross-referencing a collection
of ASD
grammar files, as specified in a "build" list of the kind that
is used
by the MergeGrammars utility (which is in the asd
package
in archive asddigraphs.jar above). The compiled
DefinedUsed
utility is in the asdx package (which is in the
archive asdx.jar
above.) It produces an index that relates phrase types to
the
files
in which they are defined and the files in which they are
used.
It
lists all undefined phrase types and unused phrase types in the
given
collection
of grammar files. Finally, it cross references the grammar
files
themselves according to which other grammar files they depend on
and
which
they support. It can be used as follows, where buildListFileName
is the name of the file that contains the "build" list of
grammar
files,
and outputFileName is the name for a file to which DefinedUsed
is to write its output.
From an MS-Windows command window:
java -cp asddigraphs.jar;asdx.jar;.
asdx/DefinedUsed
< buildListFileName > outputFileNameFrom a
Unix
command
window:
java -cp asddigraphs.jar:asdx.jar:.
asdx/DefinedUsed
< buildListFileName > outputFileName
Alternatively, if
you
add the asddigraphs.jar and asdx.jar files to
your
system's
CLASSPATH, then you can simply use
java asdx/DefinedUsed < buildListFileName
>
outputFileName
- ASDCount.java,
with
corresponding
class file ASDCount.class
- a
stand-alone
tool for counting words, instances, and lines in an ASD grammar
file. Usage: java
ASDCount < grammarFileName
- ASDParseTest - a
first
version
of a program to test grammars with instances of ASDParser.
It is
more
primitive
than ASDTester.
