R: Volatile Corpora

VCorpus {tm} | R Documentation

## Volatile Corpora

### Description

Create volatile corpora.

### Usage

    VCorpus(x, readerControl = list(reader = reader(x), language = "en"))
    as.VCorpus(x)

### Arguments

`x` | For `VCorpus` a `Source` object, and for `as.VCorpus` an R object.
`readerControl` | a named list of control parameters for reading in content from `x`. `reader` a function capable of reading in and processing the format delivered by `x`. `language` a character giving the language (preferably as IETF language tags, see language in package NLP). The default language is assumed to be English (`"en"`).

### Details

A volatile corpus is fully kept in memory and thus all changes only affect the corresponding R object.

### Value

An object inheriting from `VCorpus` and `Corpus`.

### See Also

`Corpus` for basic information on the corpus infrastructure employed by package tm.

`PCorpus` provides an implementation with permanent storage semantics.

### Examples

    reut21578 <- system.file("texts", "crude", package = "tm")
    VCorpus(DirSource(reut21578), list(reader = readReut21578XMLasPlain))
