A Corpus of Multi-participant Conversations and an Editor for its Annotation

Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

The paper presents the details and the history of building a corpus of instant messenger (chat) conversations with multiple participants used for Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning. Two XML annotation schemas are presented. The first is the basic one in the corpus. It is automatically generated starting from various formats in which chats are exported. The second schema extends the first one. It is generated by an editor for manually annotating the chats. Details of the editor are included. The corpus may be used in different purposes: machine learning, analysis and statistics computation.
