Standoff Annotation for the Ancient Greek and Latin Dependency Treebank

Giuseppe G. A. Celano

Abstract: This contribution presents the work in progress to convert the Ancient Greek and Latin Dependency Treebank (AGLDT) into standoff annotation using PAULA XML. With an increasing number of annotations of any kind, it becomes more and more urgent that annotations related to the same texts be added standoff. Standoff annotation consists in adding any kind of annotation in separate documents, which are ultimately linked to a main text, the so-called "base text," which is meant to be unchangeable.
