(Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask)

Is there a website akin to phpSyntaxTree / jsSyntaxTree that would allow me to manually type in something like bracket notation to make parse trees for Dependency Grammar? I can't seem to find anything on the internet for something like that. On UD's website, they mention a lot of tools that they use, but all of them seem to require some third-party application that I have no idea how to use, like Python. One of the tools mentioned was brat, and I've tried downloading it with Java and with Python installed on the computer, but I keep getting error messages when I try to run the program and it won't load or open properly. I've tried looking for tutorials on YouTube, but the best I got was this video. The website the person's using in the video most resembles what I'm looking for. I tried going to the very website they were using, but it seems like it's something that only the owner can edit? Outside of that website, I've not been able to find a single equivalent. I was thinking of using LaTeX since I saw something about a TikZ package that can allow one to make DG trees, but the installation process of LaTeX is really complicated, not to mention the "coding" (?) process. To clarify, I'm not looking for automated parse tree generators like CoreNLP or Stanza.

Edit: I've found a weird glitch? I don't know if it was intentional or not, but on UD's website, on page "Other Constructions", for some reason I'm able to edit example box 10 and 11... and the editing feature is exactly what I'm looking for: something "manual". This seems like some glitch because you're not supposed to be able to edit examples on a website, right? ...Is there an official website for this that they have or something?

Funnily enough, I'm now answering my own question. The (web-based?) application INCEpTION seems to be what I was looking for. I really emphasize that anybody wanting to do the same follow the installation instructions on the website. The application luckily only uses Java and not Python, Apache, Git or whatever programming software the other "DG syntax tree" applications on UD's "tools" section seem to need.

  • I don't see any parse trees there....but it's hard for me to see the examples. Commented May 6 at 19:23
  • Though there aren't ample amounts of examples of parse trees on the main page of examples, the predecessor application, WebAnno, has some examples too. On both websites, they can be seen by clicking the tabs on the left (in the webpage of the provided links). To be fair, even though they don't have that many examples, in many ways, the interface and appearance of the parse trees are just like in brat. They even have settings to make the trees more "brat-like". Commented May 6 at 20:06
