QuantML XML-based concrete syntax
This concrete syntax specifies an XML representation of the annotation structures defined by the QuantML abstract syntax.
- Entity structure representations
The following XML elements for the representation of entity structures all have an attribute @xml:id whose value is a unique identifier within the representation (of type CDATA) and an attribute @target whose value is a markable or a list of markables (type IDREFS).
-
≺entity>, representing participant structures. with the following attributes values or value types:
- @refDomain: IDREF
- @individuation: (count | mass | count+parts)
- @involvement: IDREF
- @size: IDREF (optional)
- @qualifiers: IDREF (optional)
- ≺event> for representinng (sets of) event structures:
- @pred: CDATA
- @rep: IDREF
- @genericity: (generic | specific) (default value"specific" may be suppressed )
- ≺refDomain>, for representing a reference domain:
- @components: IDREFS
- @restrictions: IDREFS
- @determinacy: (det | indet)
- ≺sourceDomain>, for representing a source domain:
- ≺adjMod>, for representing an adjectival modifier:
- @pred: CDATA
- @distr: (collective | individual | sampled | unspecific)
- ≺nnMod>, for representing a nominal modifier:
- @pred: CDATA
- @restrictions: IDREFS
- ≺ppMod>, for representing a modification by a prepositional phrase:
- @pred: CDATA
- @pEntity: IDREF
- @distr: (collective | individual | sampled | unspecific)
- @linking: linear | inverse (default value "linear" may be suppressed)
- ≺possMod>, for representing an possessive modifier:
- @pred: CDATA
- @possessor: IDREF
- @distr: (collective | individual | sampled | unspecific)
- @linking: linear | inverse (default value "linear" may be suppressed)
- ≺relClause>, for representing a relative clause modification
- @semRole: IDREF
- @distr: (collective | individual | sampled | unspecific)
- @linking: (linear | inverse)
- ≺cardinality>, for representing a reference domain:
- @numRel: (grEq | equal | lessThan)
- @number: CDATA
- ≺relativeSize>, for representing a source domain:
- ≺measure>, for representing a reference domain:
- @numRel: (grEq | equal | lessThan)
- @number: CDATA
- @unit: CDATA
- Link structure representations
XML elements for the representation of link structures:
-
≺participation>, representing participant links, predication links, and scope links. Attributes that have default values do not need to be annotated.
- @event: IDREF
- @participant: IDREF
- @semRole: CDATA
- @distr: (individual | collective | sampled | unspecific)
- @evScope: (wide | narrow) (default value: "narrow")
- @exhaustiveness: (exhaustive | non-exhaustive) ( default value: "non-exhaustive")
- @polarity: (positive | wide-negative | narrow-negative) ( default value: "positive")
- @modality: CDATA (optional)
The following values are default and may be suppressed: exhaustiveness = "non-exhaustive", abbreviated "nex", event scope = "narrow", polarity = "positive".
- ≺predication>:
- @participant: IDREF
- @event: IDREF
- @predicate: CDATA
- @distr: (individual | collective | sampled)
- @exhaustiveness: (exhaustive | non-exhaustive)
- @polarity: (positive | wide-negative | narrow-negative)
Default values, which may be suppressed: exhaustiveness = "non-exhaustive", polarity = "positive".
- ≺scoping>:
- @arg1: IDREF
- @arg2: IDREF
- @scopeRel: (wider | dual | equal)
