• Title: Observations on Annotations
• Authors: Georg Rehm
• Abstract summary: It approaches the topic from several angles including Hypertext, Computational Linguistics and Language Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Open Science. In terms of complexity, they can range from trivial to highly sophisticated, in terms of maturity from experimental to standardised. Primary research data such as, e.g., text documents can be annotated on different layers concurrently, which are independent but can be exploited using multi-layer querying.

• Abstract: The annotation of textual information is a fundamental activity in Linguistics and Computational Linguistics. This article presents various observations on annotations. It approaches the topic from several angles including Hypertext, Computational Linguistics and Language Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Open Science. Annotations can be examined along different dimensions. In terms of complexity, they can range from trivial to highly sophisticated, in terms of maturity from experimental to standardised. Annotations can be annotated themselves using more abstract annotations. Primary research data such as, e.g., text documents can be annotated on different layers concurrently, which are independent but can be exploited using multi-layer querying. Standards guarantee interoperability and reusability of data sets. The chapter concludes with four final observations, formulated as research questions or rather provocative remarks on the current state of annotation research.

• Variationist: Exploring Multifaceted Variation and Bias in Written Language Data [3.666781404469562]
  Exploring and understanding language data is a fundamental stage in all areas dealing with human language. Yet, there is currently a lack of a unified, customizable tool to seamlessly inspect and visualize language variation and bias. In this paper, we introduce Variationist, a highly-modular, descriptive, and task-agnostic tool that fills this gap.

  We first build and present a novel corpus that contains a large variety of manually annotated texts from different online sources. This global context allows us to test the generalization ability of SUD classifiers. From this perspective, we can analyze how (possibly) different annotation modalities influence SUD learning.

  voluntary studies often require annotators to familiarize themselves with the task, its annotation scheme, and the data domain. This can be overwhelming in the beginning, mentally taxing, and induce errors into the resulting annotations. We propose annotation curricula, a novel approach to implicitly train annotators.

• Provenance for Linguistic Corpora Through Nanopublications [0.22940141855172028]
  Research in Computational Linguistics is dependent on text corpora for training and testing new tools and methodologies. While there exists a plethora of annotated linguistic information, these corpora are often not interoperable without significant manual work. This paper addresses this issue with a case study on event annotated corpora and by creating a new, more interoperable representation of this data in the form of nanopublications.
