Abstract
Quicklisp is a library manager working with your existing Common Lisp
implementation to download and install around 2000 libraries, from a central
archive. Quickref, an application itself written in Common Lisp, generates,
automatically and by introspection, a technical documentation for every
library in Quicklisp, and produces a website for this documentation. In this
paper, we present a corpus processing and analysis pipeline for Quickref.
This pipeline consists of a set of natural language processing blocks
allowing us to analyze Quicklisp libraries, based on natural language
contents sources such as README files, docstrings, or symbol names. The
ultimate purpose of this pipeline is the generation of a keyword index for
Quickref, although other applications such as word clouds or topic analysis
are also envisioned.
