Representing Annotated Texts as RDF

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Linguistic Linked Data

Abstract

Text annotation consists in defining markables (elements to be annotated), their features (attributes and values of annotations) and relations between markables (e.g. syntactic dependencies or semantic links). In this chapter we describe the principles for annotating text data using RDF-compliant formalisms. These principles provide the basis for making annotated corporate and text collections accessible from the LLOD ecosystem.
