RE: issue-68 from an annotation representation point of view, with potential implications for annotatorsRef and standoff markup

Hi Felix,

Could you please explain this in a bit more detail. I am not sure I follow your idea how the stand-off mechanism won't be hierarchical and won't overlap anymore?

So ... (I think it gets very confusing and difficult to follow what the current proposal is) if I understand correctly the ref and id places have been switched so that one could refer from a single span only to a single textAnalyticsAnnotation, right? Then if I understand correctly, the following would not resolve to having "University of London" as an organisation and "London" as a place, right? (probably not, therefore, I think I have lost the idea).

<span tanRefs="id1">University of <span tanRefs="id2">London</span></span>

<its:textAnalyticsAnnotations id="id1">
<its:textAnalyticsAnnotation its-tan-type="entity" its-tan-ident-ref="http://dbpedia.org/resource/UniversityOfLondon" its-tan-class-ref="http://nerd.eurecom.fr/ontology#Organisation" its-tan-confidence="0.7" annotatorsRef="tan|annotator-1"/>
</its:textAnalyticsAnnotations>
<its:textAnalyticsAnnotations id="id2">
<its:textAnalyticsAnnotation its-tan-type="entity" its-tan-ident-ref="http://dbpedia.org/resource/London" its-tan-class-ref="http://nerd.eurecom.fr/ontology#Place" its-tan-confidence="0.7" annotatorsRef="tan|annotator-1"/>
</its:textAnalyticsAnnotations>

Also ... is there a reason why the ref and id places have been switched? In the initial Felix proposal the textAnalyticsAnnotation elements could refer to one span in text (thus allowing actually easy cleanup of the content). This IMO makes content management slightly more difficult (or am I missing something)?

Best regards,
Mārcis ;o)

Thanks for the clarification, Tadej - that makes things clearer to me.

I think it also means that we could - instead of "my" standoff proposal
- have standoff markup for a joint terminology + disambiguation data category, to allow for both kinds of annotations to be represented for the same fragment. At Marcis: it would also mean - that's a different to my proposal - that annotations would not be hierarchical and they would not overlap, since they always - both in the inline and standoff case - are anchored at the same span of text.

Best,

Felix
