  abstract  = {Different types of users require different functions in NLP software. It is
	difficult for a single platform to cover all types of users. When a framework
	aims to provide more interoperability, users are required to learn more
	concepts; users' application designs are restricted to be compliant with the
	framework. While an interoperability framework is useful in certain cases, some
	types of users will not select the framework due to the learning cost and
	design restrictions. We suggest a rather simple framework for the
	interoperability aiming at developers. Reusing an existing NLP platform
	Kachako, we created an API
	oriented NLP system. This system loosely couples rich high-end functions,
	including annotation visualizations, statistical evaluations, an-notation
	searching, etc. This API do not require users much learning cost, providing
	customization ability for power users while also allowing easy users to employ
	many GUI functions.},
