5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The Corelli Document Architecture is currently used as the integration layer for the Corelli Machine-Translation System. This multilingual machine-translation system is built out of heterogeneous components, such as an English generator written in Lisp, a Spanish morphological analyzer written in Prolog, a Glossary-Based Machine-Translation engine written in C, etc. This architecture will also be used to support integration of various machine translation systems in a multi-engine machine translation project (building on ideas first developed in the Pangloss project, see (Frederking et al. 94)).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The Corelli project has started collaborating with the University of Sheffield with the aim to merge the Corelli Document Architecture and the GATE architecture. 2 More specifically, the current GATE document manager will be replaced with the Corelli document manager and the Plug'n Play layer will be added to support distributed processing.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The file-based version of the Corelli Document Processing Architecture will be made freely available for research purposes. It will also be available as part of the GATE system distribution.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> Acknowledgments. An initial version of this architecture has been developed by Vani Mahesh.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> Research reported in this paper is supported by the DoD, contract MDA904-96-C-1040.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="5"> ~The GATE system already uses a previous version (written in C) of a Tipster document manager developed at CRL.</Paragraph>
