Hi,
Hm, not exactly this, but something similar. We have various forms
of a technology that will compare annotations in various CASes. This
is useful if, for example, you run some analysis and save the results.
Then you modify you analysis and want to see what difference this made
when run on your sample text. Not sure this is what you want.
Well, this is certainly a similar scenario. Although I would probably
compare against a gold standard, from a technical perspective the same
tools can do the job, of course.
True. In your case you probably want some statistics as well, right?
The basic comparison is fairly simple (if the type system is constant),
displaying the differences in a meaningful way is the real challenge.
We're accepting contributions to the CVD :-)
Do you think the CVD is the right place for this?
Depends what your favorite tooling story is. If you prefer
the eclipse tooling, it should go into eclipse. I know
people who would use this kind of functionality if it was
in CVD :-)
And shouldn't the differences be kept as new annotation types so the
viewers don't need to be changed?
Somehow I don't see that. The tooling could be made a lot
nicer if it knows it's displaying differences. And I wouldn't
want to add annotations to my data just for display purposes.
Or maybe I misunderstood?
