Representing and accessing multilevel linguistic annotation using the MEANING format
Emanuele Pianta, Luisa Bentivogli, Christian Girardi, Bernardo Magnini · 2006
We present an XML annotation format (MEANING Annotation Format, MAF) specifically designed to represent and integrate different levels of linguistic annotations and a tool that provides flexible access to them (MEANING Browser). We describe our experience in integrating linguistic annotations coming from different sources, and the solutions we adopted to implement efficient access to corpora annotated with the Meaning Format.
