Abstract

Mechanisms are provided for resolving annotation conflicts in a portion of content. A portion of content is received and annotation operations are performed on it using a plurality of annotators. Each annotator in the plurality of annotators generates a set of annotations for the portion of content, thereby generating a plurality of sets of annotations for the portion of content. The plurality of sets of annotations are analyzed to identify a conflict between a first annotation and a second annotation in the plurality of sets of annotations. The conflict between the first annotation and the second annotation is resolved to generate a resultant set of annotations for the portion of content. The resultant set of annotations is stored in an annotations data structure associated with the portion of content.
