    Hello,

            Does anyone out there have some experience working with
            corpora that have linguistic annotation (e.g. for part of
            speech, syntax, multiword expressions, or word senses) kept in
            files separate from the text itself?

            This is the system recommended by the CES and XCES corpus
            encoding standards, and the TEI guidelines also provide a
            mechanism for putting tags in one document that indicate links
            to another document.

            I'm trying to get my mind around how best to enable software
            to access corpus annotation in such a format. Ideally such
            access could be provided using standard XML formats and tools,
            like XPath and XSLT.

            Any suggestions on how best to do this, pointers to software
            or APIs that work with modular annotation, etc. would be
            invaluable.

            Thanks for your help.

                                                            Scott
