the job we want to do, which is why CWB is progressing in accordance with somewhat different design priorities, but relative to their specific goals their work is top-of-the-field.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">WRT the 2 billion word limit – yes, this is a known issue which is the result of CWB’s historic prioritisation of backward compatibility with design decisions
made in 1992. The Ziggurat project is designed to fix this by making a clean break for v4. You can read about it on the website.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

list</a> say NoSkE can handle practically unlimited number of tokens, has much better documentation, has JSON API, is more modern. What would you say? Why did you chose CWB?<o:p></o:p></p>
