TOPIC AND MOTIVATION:

Large linguistically interpreted (annotated) corpora are urgently
needed in an increasing number of projects in the field of
computational linguistics. Many groups are currently creating corpus
resources for a variety of languages. These corpora are used for a
broad range of different applications and theoretical
investigations. We aim to bring together these activities in order to
promote and facilitate first of all advanced and efficient
exploitation of annotated corpora.

The aim of the workshop is to exchange and propagate research results
in the field of corpus annotation, taking into account different types
of information. The Workshop on Linguistically Interpreted Corpora
focuses on

- exploitation of annotated corpora
- tools & techniques for syntactic annotation and browsing in corpora
- tagging and parsing methods that aim at semi-automatic annotation,
- error detection and correction,
- inter-annotator-agreement,
- representation formats and standards,
