The primary aim of this annotation project is to write short summaries of specific events. Each example to be annotated will feature a short report text, along with some information about an event described in the report. This event information is specified as a set of annotations based on (a subset of) the FrameNet ontology. As part of writing these summaries, you may also have to correct some of these annotations if they contain errors. The annotation correction and the summary writing will thus be carried out in tandem.
For this project, you will not need to understand FrameNet in great detail before you begin. In a nutshell, FrameNet is an annotation scheme for semantic role labeling (SRL) that covers a wide range of different event and role types. The event types are called frames and they vary in their level of specificity — e.g. from types as specific as Bail_decision to types as general as Activity. Each frame
