An ontology of linguistic annotationsThis paper describes development and design of an ontology of linguistic annotations, primarily word classes and morphosyntactic features, based on existing standardization approaches (e.g.EAGLES), a set of annotation schemes (e.g. for German, STTS and morphological annotations), and existing terminological resources (e.g.GOLD).The ontology is intended to be a platform for terminological integration, integrated representation and ontology-based search across existing linguistic resources with terminologically heterogeneous annotations.Further, it can be applied to augment the semantic analysis of a given text with an ontological interpretation of its morphosyntactic analysis.
