                     Large Corpora and Annotation Standards

                http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~ide/ANLP-NAACL2000.html

                     Held in conjunction with ANLP/NAACL'00
                             Seattle, Washington
                              4 May 2000 1-6pm

            This meeting is intended to bring together researchers and
            developers from a variety of domains in text, speech,
            video, etc., to look broadly at the technical issues that
            bear on the development of software systems and standards
            for the annotation and exploitation of linguistic
            resources. The goal is to lay the groundwork for the
            definition of a data and system architecture to support
            corpus annotation and exploitation that can be widely
            adopted within the community.

            Among the issues to be addressed are:

                -   layered data architectures
                -   system architectures for distributed databases
                -   support for plurality of annotation schemes
                -   impact and use of XML/XSL
                -   support for multimedia, including speech and video
                -   tools for creation, annotation, query and access
                -   of corpora
                -   mechanisms for linkage of annotation and primary
                    data
                -   applicability of semi-structured data models,
                -   search and query systems, etc.
                -   evaluation/validation of systems and annotations

            The motivation for this meeting is the American National
            Corpus (ANC) effort, which should begin corpus creation
            within the year. We anticipate that the ANC will provide a
            significant resource for natural language processing, and
            we therefore seek to identify state-of-the-art methods for
            its creation, annotation, and exploitation. Also, as a
            national and freely available resource, the data and
            system architecture of the ANC is likely to become a de
            facto standard. We therefore hope to draw together leading
            researchers and developers to establish a basis for the
            design of a system to support the creation and use of the
            ANC.
