The current status of the Prague dependency Treebank

Abstract

The Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT) project is conceived of as a many-layered scenario, both from the point of view of the stratal annotation scheme, from the division-of-labor point of view, and with regard to the level of detail captured at the highest, tectogrammatical layer. The following aspects of the present status of the PDT are discussed in detail: the now-available PDT version 1.0, annotated manually at the morphemic and analytic layers, including the recent experience with post-annotation checking; the ongoing effort of tectogrammatical layer annotation, with a specific attention to the so-called model collection; and to two different areas of exploitation of the PDT, for linguistic research purposes and for information retrieval application purposes.
