Annotation Process

This is a guide for the local annotation team only. This stuff is under construction.

Every file that is edited has exactly one file with notes about its edit history. If the file name is piltur1.psd, the corresponding notes file is piltur1.notes.txt.

Syntax of the notes file

• For each sentence there is a section that starts with its number.
• Each section is an alphabetized list of notes about the sentence in question. Each note starts with the initials of the annotator who wrote it.
• The format is always exactly the same

Example:

1)
a) AKI: changed lemma of "ekki" from "ekki" to "ekkert"

2)
a) AKI: added missing expletive subject to IP-MAT 
b) EFS: changed tag of "epli" from N to NS.

Note categories

Every note is classified according to its nature. The types of notes are as follows:

• (no label), change to correct an error in the file. This is the default and the most common kind of a note -- therefore no label is needed.
• NOTE, important information about the parse that does not reflect a change. This is typically used by the first annotator to share some information with the reviewers. This includes, in particular, arguments for the parse that resulted from a difficult choice between two or more alternatives (in which case citing documentation may be a good idea).
• DISCUSS,
