[CWB] File format of encoded cwb corpora

[Serge Heiden]

For the various index files of CQP, to start I would recommend:
IMS Corpus Workbench "CQP Corpus Administrator’s Manual",
Oliver Christ, Universität Stuttgart, Institut für maschinelle Sprache, 1994
(p. 14 for a partial overview of index architecture)
A copy of which is here:

>>>>> There's no formal specification of the precise file format
> Arguably there should be, however, especially if we need to change it and thus have to deal with format versioning. Moreover, having obtained (and read) a copy of the "Managing Gigabytes" book, I personally don't think the book alone alone adequately documents the technical details of the binary format: for a full understanding of how CWB does it, the book has to be read alongside the indexing code.
