Does Brat allow grouping together of repeated annotated entities?

Does Brat allow grouping coreferences together?

[Goran Topic]

The question is a bit light on details, but if I understand what you are asking, you can use Equivalence relations:

Hi,
I think the question is more like "If I annotate "egg" as "food", does brat automatically annotate all other instances of "egg" as "food"?"

I might be wrong though.

[Goran Topic]

It does not. There are several features that can help you with that:

* Search: Search for "egg" with Ctrl-F, annotate as "food"; then go to the next instance (Ctrl-G) and repeat the annotation (Ctrl-H) on it if you wish. (Note: Ctrl-H is a rather recent feature, requiring installation from git clone). Use Cmd instead of Ctrl on Mac.

* Lock the annotation (next to the OK button in the annotation dialog), so you can annotate in the same way simply by selecting the span, without showing the dialog. (Works also in older versions)

Hello everyone,

I will explain it a bit more.

For example, consider a paper abstract containing these two phrases, 1) "An evidence-based exercise program" and 2) "Energy through motion activity program". These (1 and 2) are basically referring to the same things. They want to interactively group it together per document. I am not sure if it is currently available in brat? I will be really grateful for your response.

In that case, I have already answered: use an equivalence relation.
