-====== Carcass Basic Tutorial ====== 
  
-(by [[http://sslmit.unibo.it/~eros/|Eros Zanchetta]]) 
- 
-Welcome to the Carcass Basic tutorial! 
- 
-This short guide assumes no prior knowledge of the tool, and will walk you through the process of connecting to a remote server and submitting your first query. 
- 
-**This tutorial is based on Carcass version 0.44** 
- 
-==== Introduction ==== 
- 
-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. 
- 
-==== Connection to the server ==== 
- 
-Immediately after starting the program, a dialog window will appear, requesting the parameters for the connection to the server. 
- 
-You don't need to do anything here, just accept the default values by clicking on the "OK" button. 
-

- 
- 
-==== Selecting a corpus ==== 
- 
-After a few moments the main window of Carcass will appear, on the left you'll see a list of all available corpora, grouped by language. 
- 
-{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:basic:020_available_corpora.png?950 |}} 
- 
-Click on "English" to display all available English corpora. 
- 
-{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:basic:030_select_corpus.png?950 |}} 
- 
-\\ 
- 
-Click on "UkWaC 1" to select the UkWaC corpus (more information on this corpus are available on [[http://wacky.sslmit.unibo.it|this page]]). 
- 
-As soon as you select the corpus, the query editors will appear: 
- 
-{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:basic:040_query_editors.png?950 |}} 
- 
-\\ 
- 
-As you can see from the picture above, you can choose between **Simple**, **Smart** and **Expert** query editor. 
-==== Submitting a query ==== 
- 
-For now let's just stick to the **Simple** editor (the **Smart** and **Expert** editors are covered in the [[sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:advanced_1|advanced tutorial]]). 
- 
-Type the following phrase in the box and click on //Submit//: 
- 
-<file> 
-naked eye 
-</file> 
- 
-{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:basic:050_first_query.png?950 }} 
- 
-\\ 
- 
-In the [[sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:basic_2|next part]] of the tutorial you will see how to browse the results of your query.
