| Abstract | The Brandeis Annotation Tool (BAT) is a web-based text annotation tool that iscentered around the notions of layered annotation and task decomposition. Itallows annotations to refer to other annotations and to take a complicated taskand split it into easier subtasks. The central organizing concept of BAT is the annotation layer. A corpusadministrator can create annotation layers that involve annotation of extents,attributes or relations. The layer definition includes the labels used, theattributes that are available and restrictions on the values for thoseattributes. For each annotation layer, files can be assigned to one or moreannotators and one judge. When annotators log in, the assigned layers and filestherein are presented. When selecting a file to annotate, the interface usesthe layer definition to display the annotation interface. The web-interface connects administrators and annotators to a centralrepository for all data and simplifies many of the housekeeping tasks whilekeeping requirements at a minimum (that is, users only need an internetconnection and a well-behaved browser). BAT has been used mainly for temporal annotation, but can be considered amore general tool for several kinds of textual annotation. |
