Section~\ref{sec:corpora:schemas}. Annotation schemas provide a means to define
types of annotations in GATE Developer. Basically this means that GATE
Developer
`knows about' annotations defined in a schema.
+Annotation schemas are supported by the `Annotation schema' language resource,
+which is one of the default LR types (along with corpus and document) available
+in GATE without the need to load any plugins.
-Annotation schemas are supported by the `Annotation schema' language resource
-in ANNIE, so to use them you must first ensure that the `ANNIE' plugin is
-loaded (see Section~\ref{sec:developer:plugins}). This will load a set of
-default schemas, as well as allowing you to load schemas of your own.
+To load an annotation schema into GATE Developer, right-click on `Language
+Resources' in the resources pane. Select `New' then `Annotation schema'. A
+popup box will appear in which you can browse to your annotation schema XML
+file. A default set of annotation schemas for common annotation types
+including Person, Organization and Location is provided in the ANNIE plugin,
+and can be loaded by creating an Annotation schema LR from the file {\tt
+plugins/ANNIE/resources/schema/ANNIE-Schemas.xml} in the GATE distribution.
+You can also define your own schemas to tell GATE Developer about other kinds
+of annotations you frequently use. Each schema file can define only one
+annotation type, but you can have a master file which includes others, in order
+to load a group of schemas in one operation. The ANNIE schemas provide an
+example of this technique.
-The default annotation schemas contain common named entities such as Person,
-Organisation, Location, etc. You can modify the existing schema or create a new
-one, in order to tell GATE Developer about other kinds of annotations you
-frequently use. You can still create annotations in GATE Developer without
-having specified them in an annotation schema, but you may then need to tell
GATE
-Developer about the properties of that annotation type each time you create an
-annotation for it.
+By default GATE Developer will allow you to create any annotations in a
+document, whether or not there is a schema to describe them. An alternative
+annotation editor component is available which constrains the available
+annotation types and features much more tightly, based on the annotation
+schemas that are currently loaded. This is particularly useful when annotating
+large quantities of data or for use by less skilled users.
