Interoperability of Corpora and Annotations

This paper describes the application of OWL and RDF to address the interoperability of linguistic corpora and linguistic annotations within such corpora. Interoperability of linguistic corpora involves two aspects: Structural interoperability (annotations of different origin are represented using the same formalism) and conceptual interoperability (annotations of different origin are linked to a common vocabulary).
