TY - JOUR A1 - Dipper, Stefanie A1 - Götze, Michael A1 - Stede, Manfred A1 - Wegst, Tillmann T1 - ANNIS BT - a linguistic database for exploring information structure JF - Interdisciplinary studies on information structure : ISIS ; working papers of the SFB 632 N2 - In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of our first version of the database "ANNIS" ("ANNotation of Information Structure"). For research based on empirical data, ANNIS provides a uniform environment for storing this data together with its linguistic annotations. A central database promotes standardized annotation, which facilitates interpretation and comparison of the data. ANNIS is used through a standard web browser and offers tier-based visualization of data and annotations, as well as search facilities that allow for cross-level and cross-sentential queries. The paper motivates the design of the system, characterizes its user interface, and provides an initial technical evaluation of ANNIS with respect to data size and query processing.

A procedure for the annotation of these features is proposed.

The ultimate target of these annotations is to allow for data retrieval for the study of information structure, and since information structure interacts with all levels of grammar, the present guidelines cover all levels of grammar too. After introducing the guidelines, the current chapter also presents an evaluation by means of measurements of the inter-annotator agreement.
