XStandoff Examples

John likes Mary

A very trivial example that can be found in Sperberg-McQueen 2000. It consists of the single sentence "John likes Mary".

The text

[TXT]

John likes Mary

The annotation levels

First annotation level: there is an s element dominating the entire sentence and an a element dominating the first two words.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<s xmlns="http://www.xstandoff.net/examples/john"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xstandoff.net/examples/john ../xsd/john.xsd">
  <a>John likes</a> Mary</s>

Second annotation level: there is an s element dominating the entire sentence and a b element dominating the last two words.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<s xmlns="http://www.xstandoff.net/examples/john"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xstandoff.net/examples/john ../xsd/john.xsd">
  John <b>likes Mary</b></s>

The XStandoff instance

[XML][SVG]

The resulting XStandoff instance contains both annotation layers under a single level, since they correspond to the same schema.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsf:corpusData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xstandoff.net/examples/john ../xsd/john.xsd">
        <s xsf:segment="seg1">
          <a xsf:segment="seg2"/>
        </s>
      </xsf:layer>
      <xsf:layer xmlns="http://www.xstandoff.net/examples/john" priority="0"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xstandoff.net/examples/john ../xsd/john.xsd">
        <s xsf:segment="seg1"/>
      </xsf:layer>
    </xsf:level>
  </xsf:annotation>
</xsf:corpusData>

This example could make use of XStandoff's all layer as well (cf. the example La Mort d'Agrippine).
