[http://projects.ldc.upenn.edu/FORM/ FORM: A Kinematic Gesture-Annotation Scheme ] ([mailto:cmartell@unagi.cis.upenn.edu Craig Martell]) <br />FORM is a gesture annotation scheme designed to capture the kinematic information in gesture from videos of speakers. The FORM project is currently building a detailed database of gesture-annotated videos stored in [http://agtk.sourceforge.net/ Annotation Graph] format. This will allow the gestural information to be augmented with other linguistic information, like parse-tress of the sentences accompanying the gestures, discourse structure, intonation information, etc.

FORM encodes the "phonetics" of gesture by giving geometric descriptions of location and movement of the right and left arms and hands, the torso and the head. Other kinematic information like effort and shape are also recorded.

Currently, FORM uses [[Anvil]], but they are developing FORMTool, their own open-sourced gesture annotation tool. This tool will be of use to anyone wanting to encode linguistic information from videos in Annotaiton Graph format.

[http://www.nist.gov/speech/atlas/ ATLAS - Architecture and Tools for Linguistic Analysis Systems] ([mailto:sb@ldc.upenn.edu,day@mitre.org,john.garofolo@nist.gov Steven Bird, David Day, John Garofolo])

ATLAS is a joint initiative of [http://www.nist.gov/ NIST], [http://www.mitre.org/ MITRE] and the [http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/ LDC] to build a general purpose annotation architecture and a data interchange format. The starting point is the [http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/sb/home/publications.html#specom00 annotation graph] model, with some significant generalizations. An [http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/sb/home/publications.html#lrec00-atlas LREC paper] describes the model.

The ATLAS project is no longer actively supported - a Java-implementation of the ATLAS APIs exists under the name of jATLAS. A software implementations that support ATLAS annotation exist: [[Calisto]]

==Linguistic Annotation Wiki==

This wiki describes tools and formats for creating and managing ''linguistic annotations''. `Linguistic annotation<nowiki>‘</nowiki> covers any descriptive or analytic notations applied to raw language data. The basic data may be in the form of time functions -- audio, video and/or physiological recordings -- or it may be textual. The added notations may include transcriptions of all sorts (from phonetic features to discourse structures), part-of-speech and sense tagging, syntactic analysis, "named entity" identification, co-reference annotation, and so on. The focus is on tools which have been widely used for constructing annotated linguistic databases, and on the formats commonly adopted by such tools and databases.

This wiki is based on these webpages:

The CHILDES project provides a large database of first and second language acquisition data from over 30 languages in a constant format, called CHAT. There are also programs for Windows and Macintosh that permit analysis of this database as well as alignment of text to speech and video.
