 +Carcass is a corpus query tool. It is a [[wp>Client_(computing)|client]] application, which means it needs a working Internet connection to log into a [[wp>Server_(computing)|server]]. For now, the only corpora you can use with Carcass are those hosted on the server.

 +If you're a glass half empty kind of person you'll think "Shoot, I **cannot** use my own corpora!". If, on the other hand, you're a glass half full kind of person, you'll probably say "Cool, I don't **need** to provide the corpora, there are a bunch of 'em already available and I don't even have to do anything to set them up!" 
 + 
 +However you choose to look at it, at the moment it is not possible for regular users to add corpora to the system.
