Below
is a summary of the data representation of the corpus within the XML structure. It is
intended as a reference guide when constructing queries.
Annotation layers are grouped according to the version of
the Switchboard transcript they used. Follow the links for full lists
of values of certain attributes, as well as full information about
annotations provided by the authors of each layer.
Note that not all coding layers are available for all conversations in the NXT release. See here for a summary of annotation coverage by conversation.
The tables list: the name of the codings file for each layer of
annotation; the possible elements within each coding layer; the
attributes of each element (note not all elements take all
attributes, see the metadata file for more details); the values, or
examples of values, for each attribute; the relationships described for
those elements with other layers of annotation; and the authors of each
layer
of annotation. Note only parent
of and points
at relationships are shown, where the pointer
relationship is named, this is given in brackets.
