| Abstract | This paper gives guidelines of how to create and update Propbank frameset filesusing a dedicated editor, Cornerstone. Propbank is a corpus in which thearguments of each verb predicate are annotated with their semantic roles inrelation to the predicate. Propbank annotation also requires the choice of asense ID for each predicate. Thus, for each predicate in Propbank, there existsa corresponding frameset file showing the expected predicate argument structureof each sense related to the predicate. Since most Propbank annotations arebased on the predicate argument structure defined in the frameset files, it isimportant to keep the files consistent, simple to read as well as easy toupdate. The frameset files are written in XML, which can be difficult to editwhen using a simple text editor. Therefore, it is helpful to develop auser-friendly editor such as Cornerstone, specifically customized to create andedit frameset files. Cornerstone runs platform independently, is light enoughto run as an X11 application and supports multiple languages such as Arabic,Chinese, English, Hindi and Korean. |
