2.1 TIGER-XML corpora

The following subsections are a kind of guided tour. They walk through the encoding format and explain its properties.

A TIGER-XML document consists of two parts. In the header you can find the corpus declaration and some meta information (cf. subsection 2.2). The body comprises the definition of the corpus graphs and their annotation (cf. subsection 2.3). The corpus body can also be divided into so-called subcorpora (cf. subsection 2.4). Corpus query matches can also be represented within the TIGER-XML format (cf. subsection 2.5).
