Gross-grained RST through XML metadata for multilingual document generation

Guillermo Barrutieta, Joseba Abaitua, Josuha Díaz


Abstract
We present an RST-based discourse annotation proposal used in the construction of a trial multilingual XML-tagged corpus of teaching material in Basque, English and Spanish. The corpus feeds an experimental multilingual document generation system for the web. The main contributions of this paper are an implementation of RST through XML metadata and the adoption of gross-grained RST to avoid non-isomorphism in multilingual corpora.
