DOCBOOK: [[email protected]: HyGene - automatic hypertext construction for DocBook (among others)]

Hello folks,

I am sorry if you see this twice, but I sent the message originally
around a week ago but was unsure whether it never made it to the list
as I had just rejoined after a long break.

You can find the original announcement below. A little update: the CVS
version already contains a generic HTML plugin (no documentation
yet) suitable for automatically hyperlinking arbitrary HTML stuff.

Comments are welcome,

-Sami

Greetings!

HyGene (the Hyperlink Generator) is a GPL'd application for automatic
hypertext construction using document metadata and pattern
matching. It is currently in early development (0.19),  and comes with two
plugins: one for hyperlinking DocBook SGML and the other for
hyperlinking DocBook-generated HTML. HyGene complements my university
project for automatic hypertext construction, and is aimed mainly
towards technical documentation.

You can find more information about HyGene and download it from 

    <http://www.iki.fi/lempinen/hygene/>

The source code is available at SourceForge, with a CVS repository. I
welcome any Perl hackers to take part in the development, and will
grant CVS write access for people who want to tweak HyGene further.

HyGene features include:

- SQL database interface for persistent storage of metadata and link
  information 
- Link typing and validation according to document class
- Two types of keywords: noun phrases and verb-object phrases 
- Handling of noun pluralisation and different verb forms
- Interpretation of active and passive verb phrases
- Licensed under the GNU General Public Licence 
- Written in Perl, with an extensible plugin interface.  
- Plugins for DocBook SGML and DocBook-generated HTML 

Comments and questions are welcome. If you have trouble installing the
software, let me know.

Yours,

-Sami
