![]() Comments on a text’s structure and style take note of e.g. ![]() This “Factual” category encompasses crossreferencing data from history, geography, science etc. In addition to the basic vocabulary category, another fundamental kind of comment is the fact check. ![]() But it also can include etymological information on, or the historic use of the annotated word, which is especially helpful with older texts. The most basic kind of annotation is a simple dictionary check to help readers with English as a second language. What kind of information is given? To whom it is given? And how can it be displayed to the greatest benefit? To exemplarily tackle these problems, we began by a “building” categories (the one referred to in the last paragraph) for different kinds of information and/or knowledge. Annotations, as any kind of text, bring a set of questions concerning their usage which are useful to think about in this context. It is part of the “Annotating Literature” project to develop the practice of commenting on a text. Depending on the text, some categories will be more important, some less, and some will not be used at all.” The conscious application of these categories just starts to describe our understanding of annotation and the (meta-)reflection on annotation in practice and theory. There are different categories of annotations like vocabulary, historical context, etc. Thus our project’s guidelines incorporate a similar, yet expanded definition in the very first paragraph: “Annotations are little notes that provide useful information to enhance the understanding of a text. The definition of the OED (see right) seems straightforward enough. ![]() (usually pl.) A note added to anything written, by way of explanation or comment.

The included API provides object representations for the contents of the XML files. The data is stored in a form similar to the gigaword SGML format with XML annotations containing the additional markup. The annotation was performed in a three-step process: (1) the data was preprocessed and sentences selected for annotation (sentences with more than 100 tokens were excluded) (2) syntactic parses were derived and (3) the parsed output was post-processed to derive syntactic dependencies, named entities and coreference chains. The following layers of annotation were added: Xinhua News Agency, English Service (xin_eng).New York Times Newswire Service (nyt_eng).Washington Post/Bloomberg Newswire Service (wpb_eng).Los Angeles Times/Washington Post Newswire Service (ltw_eng). ![]()
