Overview

A workshop was held to launch into the academic community "SARA", the SGML Aware Retrieval Application, in Oxford on 29th June 1994 . This brief report summarises the workshop. It is intended for academic and other researchers who may be interested in using SARA. The workshop programme and a list of those attending are at the end of this report. SARA is a software product which has been developed as a part of the British National Corpus (BNC) project. It is a powerful tool designed to:

allow rapid and sophisticated analysis of the BNC and other text corpora encoded using SGML;
allow the academic community access to the BNC as easily as possible.

On the day of the seminar, SARA was officially released in beta test form.
