Exploiting Coreference Annotations for Text-to-Hypertext Conversion

Anke Holler, Jan Frederik Maas, Angelika Storrer


Abstract
The paper describes an annotation scheme for coreference developed within the application context of text-to-hypertext conversion. In this context coference is used (1) for generating document-internal and cross-document hyperlinks, and (2) for resolving anaphoric expressions in order to achieve cohesive closedness in hypertext nodes. We will argue that for the purpose of cross-document linking it is necessary to separate the annotation of coreference relations from the annotation of anaphoric relations. To account for this requirement, we developed a knowledge-based annotation scheme that relates referential expressions in the text to entities in a knowledge representation, which is modeled using XML Topic Maps.
