JSASTEM - JavaScript Arabic Stemmer

===================================

This little project aims to create a simple arabic stemmer 

implemented in JavaScript.

Why?

====

Good question. Because I need one for my other project,

Mabhathu Tulab (A student's place of research) which

is an Arabic - Arabic dictionary, similar to http://baheth.info

but better of course ;) Its main feature is that the

user may click on any word of a dictionary entry that may then

be further explained by an overlay.

How?

====

It seems no-one has implemented one in JavaScript yet, for

good reason I imagine. The ISRI stemmer as implemented by the

NLTK project seems like a very straight forward stemmer, nothing

too complicated and time consuming for my needs. This project

therefore aims to port the python script into javascript.

Plans

=====

Hopefully I can find some time to increase accuracy. Some words

can be derived from multiple possible theoretical roots so these

could be enumerated in the return value. Prior to returning them

they could be compared against some known lists of existing roots

to filter out unknown roots.
