PROPN for title of work of art

[AngledLuffa]

In the sentence # sent_id = newsgroup-groups.google.com_alt.animals_434fe80fb3577e8e_ENG_20031011_200300-0017, there is Revolution_PROPN number_PROPN 9_NUM. I think the tag is incorrect given the latest standard, especially on number

# sent_id = newsgroup-groups.google.com_alt.animals_434fe80fb3577e8e_ENG_20031011_200300-0017
# text = Came the disintegration of the Beatles' minds with LSD which has caused, among others, schizophrenic lyrics such as "I am the Walrus" and incoherent schizophrenic musical expositions like "Revolution number 9".

for that matter, elsewhere in that sentence, I wonder if The Walrus is a single walrus whose lemma should be capitalized and whose tag is PROPN, or a generic walrus. might have to ask the beatles themselves to get a definitive answer

Why do you think the tag for "number" is incorrect in the first example?

[AngledLuffa]

I was under the impression that in titles, things still get their basic POS, rather than the whole thing being labeled proper noun

[nschneid]

Non-nouns get their basic POS. Nouns get PROPN.

[AngledLuffa]

Got it. So either way Walrus is also PROPN

[nschneid]

Yeah. There are names like Office Depot that consist only of nouns with transparent meaning being combined to form a name. I think the spirit of making a NOUN/PROPN distinction in UD is that it should be possible to recover most names (and explain why they don't need determiners etc.).
