There's a nice project at the Leipzig University http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de providing several web services (SOAP) for linguistic use: co-occurrences of words, base forms, left and right neighbours, and so forth.
To give you an example of a web service, here's a WSDL describing the baseform service: http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/axis/services/Baseform?wsdl According to the people in Leipzig, Java and .NET clients are doing fine with this (acutally, the server software is part of the Java Axis project), but they say Perl and Python can't handle the complex WSDL descriptions. And indeed, SOAPpy fails to come up with a valid SOAP envelope for this service. I'm wondering if there are similar experiences with Python SOAP clients in other areas. I want to use *just this* service, so I could probably (as a workaround) use a pre-built envelope as a template and just fill in the word of which I need the base form. But this is obviously not the way web services are meant to work. Are there any ideas or comments? Perhaps there are independent implementations of SOAP besides pybwebsvcs? any input is highly welcome! best regards, Christoph Pingel _______________________________________________ XML-SIG maillist - XML-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/xml-sig
