Re: [Mat-annotation-users] MITRE Annotation Toolkit

[Samuel B. <sa...@mi...>]

Hi Livy -

Thanks for writing, and thanks for your interest in the toolkit. Alas, 
doing dependency annotation in MAT would be an ugly, ugly thing. I've 
wanted for quite a while to have a custom annotation palette that would 
support this, but I've had neither the opportunity or the resources to 
do it.

If you do find a tool that suits your needs, I'd love to hear about it. 
One tool you might look into is brat (http://brat.nlplab.org). It's more 
appropriate than MAT because it supports drawing arcs directly on its 
annotation palette.

Cordially,
Sam Bayer
