tl;dr: This is a decentralized text data service based on Canonical Text Service, Distributed Text Service and additional text APIs.
Yes. There is a help command that lists functions and parameters for the tm and plain modules and specifications for the cts and dts modules.
CTS: Stable. DTS: Work in Progress. See the Roadmap for planned features.
Copyright-restricted data can be accessed through temporary, dataset-specific access tokens for authorized users.
Yes. Data sets are available with database and source via Zenodo and can be deployed on your own server. Current databases are available in the table above if you prefer the current state of source code.
CTS URNs are designed for persistent citation. Work-in-progress corpora are explicitly marked. Mutable data are versioned via the namespace.
The software and copyright-free data sets are openly available and can be independently deployed. A future cloning mechanism will further reduce the dependence on individual servers.
