Saxon: an Extensible Multimedia Annotator
Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2008)
Abstract
This paper introduces Saxon, a rule-based document annotator that is capable of processing and annotating several document formats and media, both within and across documents. Furthermore, Saxon is readily extensible to support other input formats due to both its flexible rule formalism and the modular plugin architecture of the Runes framework upon which it is built. In this paper we introduce the Saxon rule formalism through examples aimed at highlighting its power and flexibility.
