Usage of XSL stylesheets for the annotation of the Sámi language corpora

Abstract

This paper describes an annotation system for Sámi language corpora, which consists of structured, running texts. The annotation of the texts is fully automatic, starting from the original documents in different formats. The texts are first extracted from the original documents preserving the original structural markup. The markup is enhanced by a document-specific XSLT script which contains document-specific formatting instructions. The overall maintenance is achieved by system-wide XSLT scripts.

“…Their repository includes free and open source tools and dictionaries. The resources include traditional finite-state morphological analysers, syntactic analysers written within the framework of constraint grammar [18], as well as a number of end-user facing tools derived from them, such as spell-checkers [19], e-learning programs [20], machine translation systems and electronic dictionaries [21], and written and annotated corpora [22], for North, South, Lule, Inari and partly also Skolt Saami.…”
