| Abstract | This paper describes a new flexible representation for the annotation ofcomplex structures of metadata over heterogeneous data collections containingtext and other types of media such as images or audio files. We argue thatexisting frameworks are not suitable for this purpose, most importantly becausethey do not easily generalize to multi-document and multimodal corpora, andbecause they often require the use of particular software frameworks. In thepaper, we define a data model to represent such structured data over multimodalcollections. Furthermore, we define a surface realization of the data structureas a simple and readable XML format. We present two examples of annotationtasks to illustrate how the representation and format work for complexstructures involving multimodal annotation and cross-document links. Therepresentation described here has been used in a large-scale project focusingon the annotation of a wide range of information ― from low-level features tohigh-level semantics ― in a multimodal data collection containing both textand images. |
