The paper reports the results of the curation project ChatCorpus2CLARIN. The goal of the project was to develop a workflow and resources for the integration of an existing chat corpus into the CLARIN-D research infrastructure for language resources and tools in the Humanities and the Social Sciences (http://clarin-d.de). The paper presents an overview of the resources and practices developed in the project, describes the added value of the resource after its integration and discusses, as an outlook, to what extent these practices can be considered best practices which may be useful for the annotation and representation of other CMC and social media corpora.
The paper presents an XML schema for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication (CMC) that is compliant with the encoding framework defined by the TEI. It was designed for the annotation of CMC documents in the project Deutsches Referenzkorpus zur internetbasierten Kommunikation (DeRiK), which aims at building a corpus on language use in the most popular CMC genres on the German-speaking Internet. The focus of the schema is on those CMC genres which are written and dialogic―such as forums, bulletin boards, chats, instant messaging, wiki and weblog discussions, microblogging on Twitter, and conversation on “social network” sites.
The schema provides a representation format for the main structural features of CMC discourse as well as elements for the annotation of those units regarded as “typical” for language use on the Internet. The schema introduces an element <posting>, which describes stretches of text that are sent to the server by a user at a certain point in time. Postings are the main constituting elements of threads and logfiles, which, in our schema, are the two main types of CMC macrostructures. For the microlevel of CMC documents (that is, the structure of the <posting> content), the schema introduces elements for selected features of Internet jargon such as emoticons, interaction words and addressing terms. It allows for easy anonymization of CMC data for purposes in which the annotated data are made publicly available and includes metadata which are necessary for referencing random excerpts from the data as references in dictionary entries or as results of corpus queries.
Documentation of the schema as well as encoding examples can be retrieved from the web at http://www.empirikom.net/bin/view/Themen/CmcTEI. The schema is meant to be a core model for representing CMC that can be modified and extended by others according to their own specific perspectives on CMC data. It could be a first step towards an integration of features for the representation of CMC genres into a future new version of the TEI Guidelines.
As a consequence of a recent curation project, the Dortmund Chat Corpus is available in CLARIN-D research infrastructures for download and querying. In a legal expertise it had been recommended that standard measures of anonymisation be applied to the corpus before its republication. This paper reports about the anonymisation campaign that was conducted for the corpus. Anonymisation has been realised as categorisation, and the taxonomy of anonymisation categories applied is introduced and the method of applying it to the TEI files is demonstrated. The results of the anonymisation campaign as well as issues of quality assessment are discussed. Finally, pseudonymisation as an alternative to categorisation as a method of the anonymisation of CMC data is discussed, as well as possibilities of an automatisation of the process.
The paper presents best practices and results from projects dedicated to the creation of corpora of computer-mediated communication and social media interactions (CMC) from four different countries. Even though there are still many open issues related to building and annotating corpora of this type, there already exists a range of tested solutions which may serve as a starting point for a comprehensive discussion on how future standards for CMC corpora could (and should) be shaped like.
Since 2013 representatives of several French and German CMC corpus projects have developed three customizations of the TEI-P5 standard for text encoding in order to adapt the encoding schema and models provided by the TEI to the structural peculiarities of CMC discourse. Based on the three schema versions, a 4th version has been created which takes into account the experiences from encoding our corpora and which is specifically designed for the submission of a feature request to the TEI council. On our poster we would present the structure of this schema and its relations (commonalities and differences) to the previous schemas.
In this Paper, we describe a schema and models which have been developed for the representation of corpora of computer-mediated communicatin (CMC corpora) using the representation framework provided by the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). We characterise CMC discourse as dialogic, sequentially organised interchange between humans and point out that many features of CMC are not adequately handled by current corpus encoding schemas and tools. We formulate desiderata for a representation of CMC in encoding schemes and argue why the TEI is a suitable framework for the encoding of CMC corpora. We propose a model of basic CMC units (utterances, posts, and nonverbal activities) and the macro- and micro-level structures of interactions in CMC environments. Based on these models, we introduce CMC-core, a TEI customisation for the encoding of CMC corpora, which defines CMC-specific encoding features on the four levels of elements, model classes, attribute classes, and modules of the TEI infrastructure. The description of our customisation is illustrated by encoding examples from corpora by researchers of the TEI SIG CMC, representing a variety of CMC genres, i.e. chat, wiki talk, twitter, blog, and Second Life interactions. The material described, i.e. schemata, encoding examples, and documentation, is available from the of the TEI CMC SIG Wiki and will accompany a feature request to the TEI council in late 2019.
The paper reports on the results of a scientific colloquium dedicated to the creation of standards and best practices which are needed to facilitate the integration of language resources for CMC stemming from different origins and the linguistic analysis of CMC phenomena in different languages and genres. The key issue to be solved is that of interoperability – with respect to the structural representation of CMC genres, linguistic annotations metadata, and anonymization/pseudonymization schemas. The objective of the paper is to convince more projects to partake in a discussion about standards for CMC corpora and for the creation of a CMC corpus infrastructure across languages and genres. In view of the broad range of corpus projects which are currently underway all over Europe, there is a great window of opportunity for the creation of standards in a bottom-up approach.
Converting and Representing Social Media Corpora into TEI: Schema and best practices from CLARIN-D
(2016)
The paper presents results from a curation project within CLARIN-D, in which an existing lMWord corpus of German chat communication has been integrated into the DEREKO and DWDS corpus infrastructures of the CLARIN-D centres at the Institute for the German Language (IDS, Mannheim) and at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences (BBAW, Berlin). The focus is on the solutions developed for converting and representing the corpus in a TEI format.
Die MoCoDa 2 (https://db.mocoda2.de) ist eine webbasierte Infrastruktur für die Erhebung, Aufbereitung, Bereitstellung und Abfrage von Sprachdaten aus privater Messenger-Kommunikation (WhatsApp und ähnliche Anwendungen). Zentrale Komponenten bilden (1) eine Datenbank, die für die Verwaltung von WhatsApp-Sequenzen eingerichtet ist, die von Nutzer/innen gespendet und für linguistische Recherche- und Analysezwecke aufbereitet wurden, (2) ein Web-Frontend, das die Datenspender/innen dabei unterstützt, gespendete Sequenzen um analyserelevante Metadaten anzureichern und zu pseudonymisieren, und (3) ein Web-Frontend, über das die Daten für Zwecke in Forschung und Lehre abgefragt werden können. Der Aufbau der MoCoDa-2-Infrastruktur wurde im Rahmen des Programms „Infrastrukturelle Forderung für die Geistes- und Gesellschaftswissenschaften“ vom Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen gefordert. Ziel des Projekts ist es, ein aufbereitetes Korpus zur Sprache und Interaktion in der deutschsprachigen Messenger-Kommunikation bereitzustellen, das speziell auch für qualitative Untersuchungen eine wertvolle Grundlage bildet.

Generierung von Linkangeboten zur Rekonstruktion terminologiebedingter Wissensvoraussetzungen
(2002)
Dieser Beitrag skizziert Strategien zur (semi-)automatischen Annotation von definitorischen Textsegmenten und Termverwendungsinstanzen auf der Grundlage grammatisch annotierter Korpora. Ziel unserer Überlegungen ist es, bei der selektiven Rezeption von Fachtexten in einer Hypertextumgebung die je spezifischen Wissensvoraussetzungen, die der Verwendung von Fachtermini unterliegen und die für das Textverständnis eine entscheidende Rolle spielen, über automatisch generierte Linkangebote rekonstruierbar zu machen.
Der Kurzbeitrag berichtet über ein Projekt ”Hypertextualisierung auf textgrammatischer Grundlage“ (HyTex), in dem erforscht wird, wie sich linear organisierte Dokumente mit semiautomatischen Methoden auf der Grundlage von textgrammatischem Markup und der linguistisch motivierten Modellierung terminologischen Wissens in delinearisierte Hyperdokumente überführen lassen. Ziel ist es, eine Sammlung von Fachtexten so in einen Hypertext zu überführen, dass terminologiebedingte Verständnisschwierigkeiten beim Lesen durch entsprechende Linkangebote aufgelöst werden, so dass die Fachtexte auch von Semi-Experten der Domäne selektiv gelesen werden können. Der Schwerpunkt des Beitrags liegt auf der Modellierung terminologischen Wissens mit XML Topic Maps und dessen Stellenwert für die automatische Erzeugung von Hyperlinks.
We introduce our pipeline to integrate CMC and SM corpora into the CLARIN-D corpus infrastructure. The pipeline was developed by transforming an existing CMC corpus, the Dortmund Chat Corpus, into a resource conforming to current technical and legal standards. We describe how the resource has been prepared and restructured in terms of TEI encoding, linguistic annotations, and anonymisation. The output is a CLARIN-conformant resource integrated in the CLARIN-D research infrastructure.

Der Beitrag behandelt die Frage, wie sich das spezifisch Neue internetbasierter Kommunikation unter linguistischer Perspektive fassen und in Traditionen des sprachlichen Handelns einordnen lässt. Es wird gezeigt, dass sich die internetbasierte Kommunikation weder als Interaktion noch als Textkommunikation hinreichend beschreiben lasst, zugleich aber Merkmale mit beiden Formen teilt. Mit dem Konzept der Textformen-basierten Interaktion wird ein Vorschlag formuliert, wie dieses Dilemma aufgelöst werden kann: Das Innovationspotenzial internetbasierter Kommunikationstechnologien liegt gerade darin, dass diese durch Indienstnahme von Textformen die Möglichkeiten von Interaktion erweitern. Das hat einerseits Konsequenzen fur die linguistische Analyse und lässt sich andererseits fruchtbar machen fur die Entwicklung von Standards fur die Repräsentation von Korpora.
Dieses Kapitel gibt einen Überblick über Korpora internetbasierter Kommunikation, die als digitale Ressourcen frei zur Verfügung stehen und für eigene linguistische Forschungsarbeiten genutzt werden können. In Abschnitt 1 erläutern wir korpuslinguistische Basiskonzepte, die für die Arbeit mit Korpora internetbasierter Kommunikation benötigt werden, und präzisieren die Sprachgebrauchsdomäne Internetbasierte Kommunikation, die den Gegenstand des hier beschriebenen Ressourcentyps bildet. Abschnitt 2 gibt einen Überblick zu existierenden Korpusressourcen für das Deutsche und stellt ausgewählte Korpora zu weiteren europäischen Sprachen vor. In Abschnitt 3 geben wir abschließend einen kurzen Einblick in aktuelle Forschungsfelder, die sich im Bereich der Korpuslinguistik und Sprachtechnologie in Bezug auf den Aufbau und die Aufbereitung von Korpora internetbasierter Kommunikation stellen.
