Content Annotation

This category groups text content and phonetic content, the former being one of the most frequent elements in FoLiA and used to associate text (or a phonetic transcription) with a structural element.

FoLiA defines the following types of content annotation:

  • Content Annotation – This category groups text content and phonetic content, the former being one of the most frequent elements in FoLiA and used to associate text (or a phonetic transcription) with a structural element.

    • Text Annotation<t> – Text annotation associates actual textual content with structural elements, without it a document would be textless. FoLiA treats it as an annotation like any other.
    • Phonetic Annotation/Content<ph> – This is the phonetic analogy to text content (<t>) and allows associating a phonetic transcription with any structural element, it is often used in a speech context. Note that for actual segmentation into phonemes, FoLiA has another related type: Phonological Annotation
    • Raw Content<content> – This associates raw text content which can not carry any further annotation. It is used in the context of Gap Annotation
