<B><I>Snowball</I></B> is a small string processing language designed for creating stemming
algorithms for use in Information Retrieval. This site describes Snowball, and presents
several useful stemmers which have been implemented using it.

(Since it effectively provides a ‘<I>suffix STRIPPER GRAMmar</I>’, I had toyed with the
idea of calling it ‘<I>strippergram</I>’, but good sense has prevailed, and so it is
‘<I>Snowball</I>’ named as a tribute to SNOBOL, the excellent string handling language
of Messrs Farber, Griswold, Poage and Polonsky from the 1960s.
