Lexical Tools To Manage Information Written In Arabic (boumedyen Shannaq)

Building lexical tools to manage information written in Arabic (boumedyen Shannaq) Informatics and Automation of Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg [email protected] Most of the information retrieval tools do not provide lexical tools for Arabic, which makes it very difficult to check the information fed to the systems. The need to filter large amounts of information written in Arabic led us to build lexical tools for the Arabic language. This problem is especially critical in big organizations (libraries, museums, etc) where information is acquired mechanically by scanning or typing, which adds to the already existing errors, new errors caused by the mechanization process.
