SYSTEM FOR RETRIEVING, VISUALIZING AND EDITING SEMANTIC ANNOTATIONS

Annotations can be handled by a computer system that receives a query that specifies parameters for extraction of particular annotations from a set of annotations. Annotations include metadata that describes properties of the associated text fragment. A first entity subset, a second entity subset and a relations subset of annotations are extracted from an annotated text corpus. Contextual information relative to the extracted annotations is also extracted from the corpus. A user interface is generated to display frame elements that include the extracted annotations subsets and the extracted contextual information. In response to selections to the frame elements, the system receives input that specifies modifications to the annotations. Based on the input received, the set of annotations is modified in the annotated text corpus.
