Layering and merging linguistic annotations
Keith Suderman, Nancy Ide · 2006
The American National Corpus and its annotations are represented in a stand-off XML format compliant with the specifications of ISO TC37 SC4 WG1's Linguistic Annotation Framework. Because few systems that enable search and access of the corpus currently support stand-off markup, the project has developed a SAX like parser that generates ANC data with annotations in-line, in a variety of output formats.
