LaBB-CAT: an Annotation Store

"ONZE Miner", an open-source tool for storing and automatically annotating Transcriber transcripts, has been redeveloped to use "annotation graphs" as its data model. The annotation graph framework provides the new software, "LaBB-CAT", greater flexibility for automatic and manual annotation of corpus data at various independent levels of granularity, and allows more sophisticated annotation structures, opening up new possibilities for corpus mining and conversion between tool formats.In Proceedings of Australasian Language Technology Association Workshop, 2012
