Recipes
Recipes demonstrate processes using specific tools to accomplish specific tasks. A recipe shows how tools can be practically applied to a real research problem. Recipes take the form of a problem statement, a list of ingredients, specific steps, a glossary and discussion of the steps and concepts in the recipe and links to related information. They also may be accompanied by an exercise which applies the recipe to in a real world situation to demonstrate how it may be used. This area is meant to accommodate user contributed recipes which aid the community in identifying new and unique ways to use text analysis tools.
