Summary
In this chapter, I discuss how the abstract syntax for a semantic annotation scheme is modeled on a formal grammar of language. I design a semantic annotation scheme as consisting of three components: a (nonempty) set of annotation structures, a syntax, and a semantics. The metatheoretic syntax formally defines, or generates, annotation structures each of which consists of base structures and link structures. The semantics interprets annotation structures, while validating the formulation of the syntax. I also discuss how the specification of attribute-value assignments determine the well-formedness of annotation structures and its substructures, anchoring and content (feature) structures. This chapter focuses on the formulation of an abstract syntax.
