The chapter on formats and models for lexicons deals with different available data formats of lexical resources. It elaborates on their structure and possible uses. Motivated by the restrictions in merging different lexical resources based on widely spread formalisms and international standards, a formal lexicon model for lexical resources is developed which is related to graph structures in annotations. For lexicons this model is termed the Lexicon Graph. Within this model the concepts of lexicon entries and lexical structures frequently described in the literature are formally defined and examples are given. The article addresses the problem of ambiguity in those formal terms. An implementation based on XML and XML technology such as XQuery for the defined structures is given. The relation to international standards is included as well.

This chapter addresses the requirements and linguistic foundations of automatic relational discourse analysis of complex text types such as scientific journal articles. It is argued that besides lexical and grammatical discourse markers, which have traditionally been employed in discourse parsing, cues derived from the logical and generical document structure and the thematic structure of a text must be taken into account. An approach to modelling such types of linguistic information in terms of XML-based multi-layer annotations and to a text-technological representation of additional knowledge sources is presented. By means of quantitative and qualitative corpus analyses, cues and constraints for automatic discourse analysis can be derived. Furthermore, the proposed representations are used as the input sources for discourse parsing. A short overview of the projected parsing architecture is given.

Different Views on Markup
(2010)
In this chapter, two different ways of grouping information represented in document markup are examined: annotation levels, referring to conceptual levels of description, and annotation layers, referring to the technical realisation of markup using e.g. document grammars. In many current XML annotation projects, multiple levels are integrated into one layer, often leading to the problem of having to deal with overlapping hierarchies. As a solution, we propose a framework for XML-based multiple, independent XML annotation layers for one text, based on an abstract representation of XML documents with logical predicates. Two realisations of the abstract representation are presented, a Prolog fact base format together with an application architecture, and a specification for XML native databases. We conclude with a discussion of projects that have currently adopted this framework.

Learning from Errors. Systematic Analysis of Complex Writing Errors for Improving Writing Technology
(2015)
In this paper, we describe ongoing research on writing errors with the ultimate goal to develop error-preventing editing functions in word-processors. Drawing from the state-of-the-art research in errors carried out in various fields, we propose the application of a general concept for action-slips as introduced by Norman. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach by using a large corpus of writing errors in published texts. The concept of slips considers both the process and the product: some failure in a procedure results in an error in the product, i.e., is visible in the written text. In order to develop preventing functions, we need to determine causes of such visible errors.
