8 Final Remarks
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> So far, LX-Suite has mostly been used in-house for projects being developed by the NLX Group.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> It is being used in the GramaXing project, where a computational core grammar for deep linguistic processing of Portuguese is being developed under the Delphin initiative.10 In collaboration with CLUL,11 and under the TagShare project, LX-Suite is being used to help in the building of a corpus of 1 million accurately hand-tagged tokens, by providing an initial, high-quality tagging which is then manually corrected. It is also used for the QueXting project, whose aim is to make available a question answering system on the Portuguese Web.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> There is an on-line demo of LX-Suite located at http://lxsuite.di.fc.ul.pt. This on-line version of the suite is a partial demo, as it currently only includes the modules up to the POS tagger. By the end of the TagShare project (mid-2006), all the other modules described in this paper are planned to have been included. Additionally, the verbal featurizer and lemmatizer can be tested as a standalone tool at http://lxlemmatizer.di.fc.ul.pt.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> Future work will be focused on extending the suite with new tools, such as a named-entity recognizer and a phrase chunker.</Paragraph>
