annotatieve

Annotatieve is a Dutch adjective meaning related to annotation. Derived from annotatie, the noun for annotation, annotatieve describes data, resources, or methods that involve adding notes, labels, or metadata to a primary text or dataset. The term is commonly used in academic and professional contexts to distinguish annotated material from unannotated or raw material.

In linguistics and language technology, annotatieve resources include annotated corpora where features such as part-of-speech tags, syntactic structure, or semantic roles are assigned. In the digital humanities, annotatieve editions or manuscripts may contain glosses, comments, or cross-references linked to the base text. In information science and data management, annotatieve datasets involve metadata schemes, tagging systems, and annotation guidelines designed to support retrieval, analysis, and interoperability.

Usage typically appears in compound phrases such as annotatieve corpus, annotatieve markup, or annotatieve analyse, signaling a focus on the process or result of adding annotations. The creation of annotatieve resources raises methodological considerations, including the clarity of annotation schemes, training and agreement among annotators, and version control to track changes over time.
