FoLiA is an XML-based annotation format, suitable for the representation of linguistically annotated language resources. FoLiA's intended use is as a format for storing and/or exchanging language resources, including corpora. Our aim is to introduce a single rich format that can accomodate a wide variety of linguistic annotation types through a single generalised paradigm. We do not commit to any label set, language or linguistic theory. This is always left to the developer of the language resource, and provides maximum flexibility. WWW: https://proycon.github.io/folia/
