Welcome to the companion website to

"Modest XPath and XQuery for corpora: Exploiting deep XML annotation"

(authors: Christoph Rühlemann, Andrej Bagoutdinov, and Matthew B. O'Donnell; 2015: ICAME Journal 39)

This companion website offers three resources to accompany the above paper (for the manuscript, click here):

(i) the Inaugural Rhetorical Corpus (IRC), which is described in Section 2 of the paper,
(ii) the Inaugural Training Corpus (ITC), a short extract from the IRC fully annotated to be used as a training corpus, and
(iii) the XQuery Examples Resource, a collection of example queries for use with either corpus.

We invite corpus linguists to make use of these resources.

The Inaugural Rhetorical Corpus, the Inaugural Training Corpus, and the XQuery Examples Resource can be downloaded here:
