Semantic Annotation System

A semantic annotation system is a text annotation system that can be used for the semantic annotation task.

• AKA: Semantic Text Annotation System, Semantic Tagging System, Annotation System, Semantic Annotation Tool.
• Context:
  • It can be an Interactive System used by annotators (who are typically Domain Experts).
  • It can range from being a Concept Mention Grounding System to being a Relation Mention Grounding System.
  • It can implement a Semantic Annotation Algorithm.
  • It is a Resolution System.
• Example(s):
  • a KIM System.
  • a Knowtator System.
  • a SAPIENT System.
  • an SDOI Annotation System.
  • a Named Entity Recognition System.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Syntactic Tagging System.
  • an Ontology Management System.
• See: Intelligent System, Language Comprehension System.
