Title ANC2Go: A Web Application for Customized Corpus Creation
Authors Nancy Ide, Keith Suderman and Brian Simms
Abstract We describe a web application called “ANC2Go” that enables the user toselect data from the Open American National Corpus (OANC) and the ManuallyAnnotated Sub-corpus (MASC) together with some or all of the annotationsavailable. The user also may select from among a variety of options for outputformat, or may receive the selected portions of the corpus and annotations intheir original GrAFXML standoff format.. The request is processed by merging the annotationsselected and rendering them in the desired output format, then bundling theresults and making it available for download. Thus, users can create acustomized corpus with data and annotations of their choosing, delivered in theformat that is most convenient for their use. ANC2Go will be released as a webservice in the near future.Both the OANC and MASC are freely available for any use from the AmericanNational Corpus website and may be accessed through the ANC2Go application, orthey may downloaded in their entirety.
