XLAddIns

Repository for Excel add-ins used for corpus annotation.

Currently available:

ValidateAnnotation.xla - uses a schema file to check for each column header (e.g. pos, word, sentence...):

• Cells in columns with headers "word", "pos" have exact same spans (word=pos)
• "pos" may only contain set values (values:pos(NOUN,VERB,null))
• A worksheet "meta" must contain annotation names in first column (require:meta(title,author,...))
• Span of "sentence" must include all rows of overlapping "word" cell (sentence>word)
• You may also use either/or in headers like this: sent|sent_n>translation
• You can enfore cells in a column always being filled, e.g. to ensure the data is 'plated' with line annotations, via full:anno1,anno2,...

MiscAnno.xla - miscellaneous macros to facilitate annotation tasks

• Auto merge down - merge cells in selection with any empty cells under them
• Stretch into gap - stretches all cell to merge back into preceding cells if they are empty (useful if you insert a line to add a token and want to stretch all span annotations to cover the new tokens)
• Merge with content - merges selected cells and concatenates their contents into the new cell
• Delete line - programmatically delete the line that the cursor is own without marking it
• Insert line - programmatically insert a new line at the cursor position
• Fill zeros where cells in selection are empty (useful for sparse matrices in cross tabulation)

exmaralda_io_0.9.9.3.xla - Corpus linguistics format converter for Windows Excel

• Somewhat misnamed, as it supports not only EXMARaLDA XML but also PTB brackets, conll10 dependencies, PAULA XML, TreeTagger SGML and more
• See documentation in README_exmaralda_io_0.9.9.3.pdf

UnderOverUse_V1.2.xla - Legacy version of a conditional formatting script for number comparisons

• Highlights values of cells in warm/cold colors by deviation from control column values
• Thresholds are configurable (see underuse_overuse.pdf)
• Mostly reproduceable using conditional formatting in newer versions of Excel

Schemas for ValidateAnnotation.xla (Coptic SCRIPTORIUM only)

• validate_ms.txt validates files created from Coptic manuscripts according to Coptic SCRIPTORIUM standards
• validate_bible.txt validates files created from biblical editions (not manuscripts) such as Sahidica according to Coptic SCRIPTORIUM standards
