Dupira; the Dutch Parser for IR Applications

Dupira is a rule-based parser, generated by means of the AGFL parser generator from the Dupira grammar, lexicon and fact tables. By means of transductions which are specified in the grammar (and can be modified), the parser transduces sentences to dependency graphs. Dupira was developed for practical applications in Information Retrieval and for Information Systems needing a Natural Language interface. Its intended users are computer scientists and computer professionals rather than linguists.
