Editing Integrating Treebanks and Multilayer Annotations: A Unified Framework

Title: Integrating Treebanks and Multilayer Annotations: A Unified Framework

Research Question: How can we create an integrated framework that allows for the management and exploration of multilayer annotations in treebanks?

Methodology: The researchers surveyed various treebank structures and operations, mapping them onto the annotation graph model. This model allows for the representation of tree and non-tree annotations, opening up new possibilities for managing and exploiting multilayer annotations.

Results: The study identified elementary tree operations and demonstrated how they could be implemented in the annotation graph model. This approach allowed for the integration of treebanks with other annotation types, such as prosodic and discourse level annotations.

Implications: The development of this integrated framework has significant implications for both linguistic research and the construction of naturalistic spoken language systems. It allows for a better understanding of the interaction between different linguistic levels and facilitates the exploration of this interaction in a more systematic way.
