  • Executable for requesting a linguistic service
    Patent number: 6321372
    Abstract: An executable for a new linguistic service is produced using preexisting source code for an ancestor service that is a less specified ancestor of the new linguistic service in a hierarchy. The preexisting source code is modified, such as by further specifying it, to produce modified source code for responding to requests for the new linguistic service, where each request identifies the new linguistic service and indicates linguistic data on which it is to be performed. The modified source code is then used to produce the executable for the new linguistic service. The preexisting source code can, for example, define a top-level class in an object-oriented programming language, with common parameters including input parameters with information for obtaining the linguistic data and result parameters with information for returning results of the new linguistic service.
