Abstract
In this paper we propose a corpus structure which represents and manages an aligned parallel corpus. The corpus structure is based on a stand-off annotation model, which is composed of several XML documents. A bilingual parallel corpus represented in the proposed structure will contain: (1) the entire corpus together with its corresponding linguistic information, (2) translation units and alignment relations between units of the two languages: paragraphs, sentences and named entities. The proposed structure permits to work with the corpus both as an annotated corpus with linguistic information, and as a translation memory.
