Each of the tools has specific strengths so that a variety of differ-ent tools, working on the same data, can be desirable for project work. However this usually re-quires tedious conversion between formats. We propose a common exchange format for multi-modal annotation, based on the annotation graph (AG) formalism, which is supported by import and export routines in the respective tools. In the current version of this format the common de-nominator information can be reliably exchanged between the tools, and additional information can be stored in a standardized way.}, language = {en} }
