We want to extend (some of) the corpus files with markup for spelling and other errors, to use them as gold standards for testing our spellers (and in the future other tools as well). The markup is done manually, and needs to follow certain rules.

SMA - South Sámi

• Possible values for errtype:: ( ??? )
• Comments to each errtype value:
  • ???
• Comments to some pos values:
  • typo = typical typo — as a POS value?
  • mix = used with errtype=ncmp, since the correct form is made of several words/POS’s. Problem: there is no such errtype value, only wcmp and cmp.

By following these guidelines the resulting files should be readily useable for (speller) testing, as soon as they are converted to xml.
