RST for media items

we have a project running which uses a multilayered annotation
scheme for composite documents using text blocks, pictures, diagrams,
etc. and layout. One of the annotation layers is a slightly extended
RST which gives a rhetorical structure ranging over the different
media elements present.

No video yet however.

We are building a corpus of items annotated with the annotation
scheme, and are looking for further cooperations to expand both
the range of texts covered and the kinds of information annotated.

Information and publications on the website:

Best,
John.
