Abstract
The automatic and manual annotation of unstructured corpora is a routine task in many scientific fields and is supported by a variety of existing software solutions. Despite this variety, few solutions currently support annotation visualization, especially for dynamic generation and interaction. To bridge this gap and visualize annotated corpora based on user-, project-, or corpus-specific aspects, we developed Unified Dynamic Annotation Visualizer (UDAV). UDAV is a web-based solution that implements features not supported by comparable tools, enabling a customizable and extensible toolbox for interacting with annotations and allowing integration into existing big-data frameworks. We exemplify UDAV through a range of visualizations and also provide an evaluation of corpus import and processing performance.
