Abstract
This paper presents a new annotation tool for aligned bilingual corpora, which allows the annotation of a wide range of information, ranging from information about words (such as part-of-speech tags or named-entities) to quite complex annotation schemas involving links between aligned segments, such as co-reference or translation equivalence between aligned segments in the two languages. The annotation tool is implemented as a component of the Ellogon language engineering platform, exploiting its extensive annotation engine, its cross-platform abilities and its linguistic processing components, if such a need arises. The new annotation tool is distributed with an open source license (LGPL), as part of the Ellogon language engineering platform.
