The contours of a semantic annotation scheme for Dutch
Ineke Schuurman, Paola Monachesi · 2006
The creation of semantically annotated corpora has lagged dramatically behind. As a result, the need for such resources has now become urgent. Several initiatives have been launched at the international level in the last years, however, they have focussed almost entirely on English and not much attention has been dedicated to the creation of semantically annotated Dutch corpora. The Flemish-Dutch STEVIN-programme has identified semantic annotation as one of its priorities.Within the project Dutch Language Corpus Initiative (D-Coi) we are developing guidelines for the semantic annotation of Dutch and our focus is on two types: semantic role assignment and temporal and spatial semantics. 1
