sentence detection & line return

[Franck D]

Hello

We work on text from young pupil and they don't  master the punctuation.

It's seems Webanno detects sentences form ". Upper" (is this right ?).

So is there a way to change that ?

With scripts ? (could you please point me to a documentation on how to use scripts in annotation ?).

Thanks, regards,

Hi,

WebAnno uses the Java BreakIterator. The exact rules are determined by the Java runtime that you are using since this is a platform class. You can look at [1] for what the rules may look like.

If you need control over the segmentation process, you best segment before importing into WebAnno. For your case, you might run some tool (or manually your files) to put one sentence on a line and then import in the "Plain text (sentence)" (name similar) format which treats every line as a sentence.

Cheers,
