| Abstract | Large annotation projects, typically those addressing the question ofmultimodal annotation in which many different kinds of information have to beencoded, have to elaborate precise and high level annotation schemes. Doing this requires first to define the structure of the information: thedifferent objects and their organization. This stage has to be as much independent as possible from the coding languageconstraints. This is the reason why we propose a preliminary formal annotationmodel, represented with typed feature structures. This representation requiresa precise definition of the different objects, their properties (or features)and their relations, represented in terms of type hierarchies. This approachhas been used to specify the annotation scheme of a large multimodal annotationproject (OTIM) and experimented in the annotation of a multimodal corpus (CID,Corpus of Interactional Data). This project aims at collecting, annotating andexploiting a dialogue video corpus in a multimodal perspective (includingspeech and gesture modalities). The corpus itself, is made of 8 hours ofdialogues, fully transcribed and richly annotated (phonetics, syntax,pragmatics, gestures, etc.). |
