| Abstract | This work reports the evaluation and selection of annotation tools to assignwh-question labels to verbal arguments in a sentence. Wh-question assignmentdiscussed herein is a kind of semantic annotation which involves two tasks:making delimitation of verbs and arguments, and linking verbs to its argumentsby question labels. As it is a new type of semantic annotation, there is noreport about requirements an annotation tool should have to face it. For thisreason, we decided to select the most appropriated tool in two phases. In thefirst phase, we executed the task with an annotation tool we have used beforein another task. Such phase helped us to test the task and enabled us to knowwhich features were or not desirable in an annotation tool for our purpose. Inthe second phase, guided by such requirements, we evaluated several tools andselected a tool for the real task. After corpus annotation conclusion, wereport some of the annotation results and some comments on the improvementsthere should be made in an annotation tool to better support such kind ofannotation task. |
