Contract Sentence Semantic Annotation Task

A Contract Sentence Semantic Annotation Task is a sentence annotation task that is a contract annotation task designed to create contract provision-focused annotated text (typically annotated contract sentences).

Context:
- Task Input: Contract-Sourced Text.
- Task Output: Annotated Contractual Provision-Focused Sentences.
- Task Performance Measure: Provision Annotation Quality Measure.
- It can (typically) be supported by a Contract Provision-Focused Sentence Annotation System.
- It can (often) require identifying and isolating distinct functional elements within each contractual provision, labeling their semantic roles, and classifying provision types.
- It can require Textual Resources, such as: Contract Corpus, Legal Annotation Guideline, Legal Text Annotation System.
- It can leverage a Legal Knowledge Base to support accurate annotation of legal concepts and terms.
- It can involve Annotation Speed Task Requirements, Annotation Accuracy Task Requirements, and Annotation Consistency Task Requirements.
- It can range in Annotation Granularity from phrase-level to sentence-level or paragraph-level.
- It can have objectives like Obligation/right extraction, Provision comparison, Provision violation detection, Contract summarization, Contract template generation, and Contract metadata creation as Annotation objectives.
- It can involve Contract Provision Annotation Guidelines, Annotated Contract Provision Corpus, Inter-Annotator Agreement Measures, and Annotation Adjudication Processes.
- It can be performed by human Legal Annotation Experts, Crowdsourced Legal Annotators, or Automated Legal Text Annotation Systems.
