5.6. Consulting a Lexicon
Document Actions
To improve consistency an annotator can use a controlled vocabulary (CV). From a CV an entry can be selected that serves as annotation value. Sometimes, however, it is not immediately clear what CV entry should be selected given a certain media fragment. In that case looking up a proposed annotation in a relevant lexicon could help to make a decision. ELAN enables the user to perform lookups in lexica through the following steps:
Set up a new Lexicon Service (see Section 5.6.1).
Enhance a Linguistic Type so that it's tiers can do a lexicon lookup (sec Section 5.6.2).
Perform the lookup (see Section 5.6.3).
