AnnotationTool
The AnnotationTool provides the ability to
examine and modify annotations on individual documents.
It is invoked by
xjet
Jet.Tipster.AnnotationTool
document colorFile
where document is the name of
the file containing the document, and colorFile is a list of the
annotation types to be examined and added, and the key associated with adding that
annotation; it consists of a sequence of lines of the form
type color key
or
type feature feature-value color key
where
- type
- is the annotation type
- feature
- if present, is a feature of the annotation
- feature-value
- is the value of that feature
- color
- is a 24-bit integer specifying the highlighting color (RGB
encoding) for highlighting instances of that annotation in the text
- key
- is a single character specifying the key binding for assigning an
annotation of that type in the tool
For example, a color file to annotate a document with ENAMEX
tags for people, organizations, and locations would be
ENAMEX TYPE PERSON 0xff0000 p
ENAMEX TYPE ORGANIZATION 0xff o
ENAMEX TYPE GPE 0xff00 g
The document to be annotated must have <TEXT> ... </TEXT>
tags; only text between these tags can be annotated. The
tool recognizes the following keystrokes
right arrow

left
|
shift - right arrow

(the selection must exactly correspond to the span of an annotation
|
q or Q

save file and quit
|
blank
|
scroll to end of region to be

In addition, the tool recognizes the keys which are paired with
annotation types in the color file. The selection point may also
be repositioned by selecting a token with the mouse. To modify an
annotation, one must first remove the annotation and then add a
corrected annotation.
