  Abstract                 = {In this paper, I present the COW14 tool chain, which comprises a web corpus creation tools called texrex, wrappers for existing linguistic annotation tools as well as an online query software called Colibri2 . By detailed descriptions of the implementation and systematic evaluations of the performance of the software on different types of systems, I show that the COW14 architecture is capable of handling the creation of corpora of up to at least 100 billion tokens. I also introduce our running demo system which currently serves corpora of up to roughly 20 billion tokens in Dutch, Englisch, French, German, Spanish, and Swedish.},
