An XML-based Representation Format for Syntactically Annotated Corpora
Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2000)
Abstract
This paper discusses a general approach to the description and encoding of linguistic corpora annotated with hierarchically structured syntactic information. A general format can be motivated by the variety and incompatibility of existing annotation formats. By using XML as a representation format the theoretical and technical problems encountered can be overcome.
