Viewing and modifying an annotated text

DGA allows viewing and possibly modifying the annotations of previously annotated texts. In order to do this, one must choose the Open corpus command from menu File. As a result, a standard dialog box which enables selection of the file containing the annotated text (corpus) will be opened. The selected file must be a xml file, having a structure in accordance with the DGA format (see The XML format used by DGA).

The contents of the chosen file will be displayed within a window as follows: the text will be displayed as a set of sentences, each sentence occurring as a hyperlink (in a web browser). When clicking on a sentence, its annotation will be displayed, in the usual graphical form, within a dialog box. Annotation modifications can be performed here, all annotation operations being allowed (see the section referring to annotation).

Saving modifications is performed by selecting one of the commands Save corpus or Save corpus as from menu File. Closing the file is performed by means of the command  Close corpus of the same menu.
