Editing Annotation (section)

=== Law ===
In the United States, legal publishers such as [[Thomson West]] and [[Lexis Nexis]] publish annotated versions of [[statutes]], providing information about [[Legal opinions|court cases]] that have interpreted the statutes. Both the federal [[United States Code]] and state statutes are subject to interpretation by the [[courts]], and the annotated statutes are valuable tools in [[legal research]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wyner |first1=Adam |last2=Peters |first2=Wim |last3=Katz |first3=Daniel |chapter=A Case Study on Legal Case Annotation |title=Legal Knowledge and Information Systems |editor-last=Ashley |editor-first=Kevin D. |series=Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications |volume=259 |date=2013 |pages=165–174 |location=Amsterdam |publisher=IOS Press |doi=10.3233/978-1-61499-359-9-165 |isbn=978-1-61499-359-9}}</ref>

=== Linguistics ===
{{Main|Text annotation#Linguistic annotation}}

One purpose of annotation is to transform the data into a form suitable for computer-aided analysis. Prior to annotation, an annotation scheme is defined that typically consists of tags. During tagging, transcriptionists manually add tags into transcripts where required linguistical features are identified in an annotation editor. The annotation scheme ensures that the tags are added consistently across the data set and allows for verification of previously tagged data.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://cawse.transcribear.com/pdf/transcription-conventions-spoken-data.pdf|title=Annotation Schemes {{!}} CAWSE |date=2017-02-05|work=General Annotation Conventions |access-date=2019-01-06}}</ref> Aside from tags, more complex forms of linguistic annotation include the annotation of phrases and relations, e.g., in [[treebank]]s. Many different forms of linguistic annotation have been developed, as well as different formats and tools for creating and managing linguistic annotations, as described, for example, in the Linguistic Annotation Wiki.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://annotation.exmaralda.org/|title=LinguisticAnnotation|website=annotation.exmaralda.org}}</ref>
