Accessing Heterogeneous Linguistic Data — Generic XML-based Representation and Flexible Visualization

Annotation of linguistic data increasingly focuses on information beyond the (morpho-)syntactic level. Moreover, annotated data of less-studied languages is growing in importance. To maximally profit from this data, straightforward and user-friendly access has to be provided. In this paper, we describe a linguistic database that is accessed via a web browser and offers fle xible visualization of multiply annotated data. Data is internally represented by a generic XML-based format.
