    Dear CORPORA list members,

    I'm interested in graphical tools for manual annotation of texts. The
    goal is to manually annotate documents to train/test IE systems. In
    particular, I'm interested in tools that allow to annotate not only
    entities (e.g. Named Entities) but also relations between such
    entities (e.g., the relations of the Template Relation task in MUC-7:
    employee_of connecting person and organization, or location_of
    connecting organization and location). Tools I'm already aware of:

     - the ALEMBIC Workbench by MITRE (already downloaded; it's the tool
       I'm more familiar with)
     - WordFreak (downloaded a few days ago; one of the problems with
       WordFreak seems to be the shortage of documentation)
     - the ACE annotation tools by LDC

    I have had a look at the old messages of the list without being able
    to find anything interesting. I have already consulted the web page
    on Linguistic Annotation by Steven Bird and Mark Liberman
    (http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/annotation/) but I have found nothing which
    appears to be relevant (BTW, the last update was in December 2001).
    I'm particularly interested in first-hand experience of use of the
    tools (including the ones mentioned above).

    I'll post a summary of the replies.

    thanks in advance
