Welcome to the Citation Annotation System!
Jump to: About Citation Parser | Citation Parser Labels | How to annotate | Important notes | Start annotating!The Citation Parser is a system which will be able to correctly identify the various components in a citation or bibliographical reference. To do so, we require a large number of annotated citations as training data for our system.
We have chosen a number of labels to represent fields that are commonly found in references, and we would like you to match these labels to the "chunks of text" in a string of citation. Your input will then be used to expand the existing training data.
The labels and their descriptions are as follows. Please read these carefully in order to avoid any confusion over which label a certain area should be annotated as. You may want to visit http://isbndb.com/ for deciding on the appropriate tag. (See Important notes for help on how to make use of isbndb for your annotation)

Enter your email address at the bottom of this page and click on the "Start" button. You will be shown a string of citation for annotation. Its article ID is stated at the top of the page.
-
Click on any word token to annotate the starting of a field to be annotated. You will only need to annotate the starting of a field.
Repeat the process by clicking on another word token which you think is the starting of another field.
note: starting of a field usually comes just after full-stops or commas- When you have finished annotating the page, fill in your email address in the box at the top of the page and click "Submit". The following shows an example of how the page may look like just after you have finished annotating.
- Each citation will take less than a minute to annotate.
- Try to annotate every single "chunk" of a citation, or else certain chunks will be taking same label as that of the previous field
- Your email address is used only to distinguish the users who have annotated each page. It will not be used for any other purposes and will be kept confidential.
- Clicking "Need help?" at the top right corner of each page will open this page in a new window, for your reference. If you encounter tokens which you do not know how to annotate, visit http://isbndb.com/ and search the keywords/tokens. For example, if you are unsure if the word tokens "Addison Wesley" belong to the field Publisher, Author, or Booktitle, look it up under "search" at the top right hand corner of the page (as shown below, which suggests that "Addison Wesley" is most likely the name of a publisher).
- If you encounter any errors or bugs (e.g. javascript, CGI, 404 errors), please send an email to Ng Yong Kiat with the article ID and/or any information about what may have caused the error. Thank you!
