Intermediate Track
Indexing: Indexing Overview
After performing any necessary pre-processing to your corpus, you should be ready to index your data. The Lemur Toolkit comes with two applications for index building: IndriBuildIndex and BuildIndex. You can always, of course, use the Lemur Toolkit API to build your own indexer.
The two applications are similar, but do have some subtle differences. First, IndriBuildIndex can only build Indri-style indexes, whereas BuildIndex can build either Indri indexes or KeyFile Indexes. A comparison of the two index types can be found in the Beginning Tutorial Track.
There is also a difference in the way the the parameter files for the two applications are interpreted. For an overview of the parameters to the two applications, see the indexing documentation.
