• What is the source of the texts to be annotated?
• How much annotated text is available?
• What information do the annotations capture?
• How was the annotation scheme designed?
• What was the original domain in which the annotation scheme was designed?
• What was the original purpose of the annotations? (e.g., some particular task)
• How were the annotations created (by hand, via a grammar, other)?
• Was inter-annotator agreement measured? What was the result?
• How closely constrained are the annotations by linguistic (syntactic, morphological) structure?
• How can the annotation scheme, annotated texts and source texts be cited?
