Opera Graeca Adnotata: Building a 34M+ Token Multilayer Corpus for Ancient Greek
<|reference_start|>Opera Graeca Adnotata: Building a 34M+ Token Multilayer Corpus for Ancient Greek: In this article, the beta version 0.1.0 of Opera Graeca Adnotata (OGA), the largest open-access multilayer corpus for Ancient Greek (AG) is presented. OGA consists of 1,687 literary works and 34M+ tokens coming from the PerseusDL and OpenGreekAndLatin GitHub repositories, which host AG texts ranging from about 800 BCE to about 250 CE. The texts have been enriched with seven annotation layers: (i) tokenization layer; (ii) sentence segmentation layer; (iii) lemmatization layer; (iv) morphological layer; (v) dependency layer; (vi) dependency function layer; (vii) Canonical Text Services (CTS) citation layer. The creation of each layer is described by highlighting the main technical and annotation-related issues encountered. Tokenization, sentence segmentation, and CTS citation are performed by rule-based algorithms, while morphosyntactic annotation is the output of the COMBO parser trained on the data of the Ancient Greek Dependency Treebank. For the sake of scalability and reusability, the corpus is released in the standoff formats PAULA XML and its offspring LAULA XML.<|reference_end|>
