Method Detail

normalizeCase

public java.lang.String normalizeCase(java.lang.String word)

Description copied from interface: WordStemmer

normalizeCase normalizes the case of the specific word. Case normalization is language-specific, as is stemming, so it made sense to tie the two functions into one interface. By default dbXML normalizes to lower-case.

Specified by:

normalizeCase in interface WordStemmer

Parameters:

word - The word to normalize

Returns:

The normalized word

stemWord

public java.lang.String stemWord(java.lang.String word)

Description copied from interface: WordStemmer

stemWord stems the specified word.

Specified by:

stemWord in interface WordStemmer

Parameters:

word - The word to stem

The stemmed word
