In the SUMMaR pipeline we use PAULA
standoff format
for annotation output of the most modules. In this way the input
document is incrementally enriched with new information without
changing the document itself.
For the representation of all annotations,
it is useful to have an xml document including all layers. For
this aim we use a merging script, which provides this kind of document.
Using style sheets, all information can easily be browsed and
highlighted.
