Encoding Hierarchical Bilingual Texts of Hong Kong Laws with XCES
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents our recent work on encoding the hierarchical English-Chinese bilingual BLIS corpus of HK laws following XCES. Our work is aimed not only at facilitating data capture for language engineering such as machine translation but also at laying down a foundation for a suitable presentation of legislative texts for various purposes (e.g., rendering the loose-leaf edition of HK laws on the Web and supporting online bilingual legislative drafting). Relevant corpus encoding standards and the text hierarchy of HK laws are reviewed, and the technical details for encoding linguistic annotation and text alignment at all hierarchical levels are presented.
