ASDTester Demo
The ASDtester is an Augmented Syntax Diagram application developed by Professor Mason. It parses english noun phrases within a well defined domain using ASD grammars. There are two example grammars one can choose from for the demonstration. A small example grammar for English cardinal-numeral phrases, cardinal.grm and a large modular grammar for English noun phrases, npX.grm.
A demo version of the ASDTester can be seen here as a Java web applet. Software details can be viewed at the ASD website.
Some suggested examples from Professor Mason's website are restated here in case they may have been overlooked.
...Try parsing with the demo version of ASDParser:
With the example grammar cardinal.grm:
-- "one hundred and twenty-five thousand"
Try parsing it stepwise, with and without the check boxes being checked. Try for more than one successful
parse.
With the example grammar npX.grm:
-- "the last doughnut in this big box"
-- "the very first little green apple"
