Welcome to the wiki of the scientific network "Building & Annotating CMC Corpora". The network is focused on the development of schemata for the annotation of discourse retrieved from genres of computer-mediated communication (CMC) for the use in corpora and on the improvement of NLP tools for the automatic processing of CMC-related phenomena. The network has been launched on the occasion of an international workshop held at TU Dortmund University in February 2013. This page offers a documentation of the talks held at the workshop. Access to other parts of the wiki is restricted to the members of the network.
