A video tutorial for the ANNIS portal is in preparation. In the meantime, here are some tips to get you started with the corpus:

• The query syntax is explained in the online help in the portal and in the ANNIS User Guide.
• The corpus annotation is documented in the Annotation pages on this site.
• Sample queries are provided in the portal.

Among the less obvious features of ANNIS are:

• “More>Frequency Analysis”. A highly customizable interface for the quantitative analysis of any property of the results identified by a query.

2.1 Installation

1. Download and install TXM 0.8.3 from https://txm.gitpages.huma-num.fr/textometrie/index.html.
2. Unzip the ogr100-txm.zip archive to any location on your computer.
3. In TXM, select File > Load and load the file OGR100.txm contained in the .zip.

2.2 Tips

By default, the concordance and index will show a basic normalized form of each word. This can be changed to the diplomatic form by setting the concordance to display dipl rather than word as the basic form.

A diplomatic edition is also included. This can be enabled by selecting dipl as well as or instead of default in the bottom left of the edition window.

You can try out some of the sample queries given here.
