On Representing Dependency Relations --
Insights from Converting the German TiGerDB

Proceedings of the Sixth Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT 2007). Bergen, Norway.

Research in parser evaluation has led to the creation of dependency resources such as the TiGer Dependency Bank, a semi-automatic conversion of a subset of the TIGER Treebank. We explore the relationship between the TiGerDB representation and a more surface-oriented dependency analysis of German and describe how we mapped and recoded the TiGerDB into a format more closely linked to the original treebank data.
