FoLiA: Format for Linguistic Annotation - FoLiA is a rich XML-based annotation format for the representation of language resources (including corpora) with linguistic annotations. A wide variety of linguistic annotations are supported, making FoLiA a useful format for NLP tasks and data interchange. Note that the actual Python library for processing FoLiA is implemented as part of PyNLPl, this contains higher-level tools that use the library as well as the full documentation, validation schemas, and set definitions
The non-authoritativeness of certain FoLiA elements, like alternatives, originals in corrections, suggestions for correction, was expressed using the using auth="no" attribute. This would facilitate the job of parsers but it introduces too much complexity. I want to remove this attribute from FoLiA v2.0 and keep the notion of authoritativeness as an internal library thing only (certain elements being by definition non-authoritative, and therefore all elements in its scope too).
