Annotator Patterns

Annotation Tools

• Download annotator package for Tiamat+Tred including Java and Active perl (all you need really). The Readme.txt file included has detailed instructions of the installation process. You need Winzip to unzip this package. VERY IMPORTANT: Winzip doesn't check "Use Folder Names" in the Extract window. So you have to do that otherwise, all the files are put in a flat structure.

• To get the latest version of Tiamat go to Lei Ding's annotate page and download.
