| Abstract |
One problem of the (re-)usability and exchange of annotated corpora is in the lack of standards in corpus formats and corpus query tools. This paper reports on the NXT Search tool, which was used to query two corpora with very different annotation formats. It is shown that with automatic data format conversion both corpora can be accessed and searched with NXT Search. |
