    abstract = "The definition of rigorous and well-structured annotation schemes is a key element in the advancement of Natural Language Processing (NLP). This paper aims to compare the performance of a general-purpose annotation scheme {---} Text2Story, based on the ISO 24617-1 standard {---} with that of a domain-specific scheme {---} i2b2 {---} in the context of clinical narrative annotation; and to assess the feasibility of harmonizing ISO 24617-1, originally designed for general-domain applications, with a specialized extension tailored to the medical domain. Based on the results of this comparative analysis, we present Med2Story, a medical-specific extension of ISO 24617-1 developed to address the particularities of clinical text annotation."
