This is a general framework to create arango db graphs and annotate them.

Welcome to Corpus Annotation Graph Builder (CAG)

cag is a Python Library offering an architectural frammework to employ the build-annotate pattern when building Graphs.

---

Corpus Annotation Graph builder (CAG) is an architectural framework that employs the build-and-annotate pattern for creating a graph. CAG is built on top of ArangoDB and its Python drivers (PyArango). The build-and-annotate pattern consists of two phases (see Figure above): (1) OOI data is collected from different sources (e.g., publication databases, online encyclopedias, news feeds, web portals, electronic libraries, repositories, media platforms) and preprocessed to build the core nodes. The component responsible for this phase is the Graph-Creator. (2) Annotations are extracted from the OOIs, and corresponding annotation nodes are created and linked to the core nodes. The component dealing with this phase is the Graph-Annotator.

This framework aims to offer researchers a flexible but unified and reproducible way of organizing and maintaining their interlinked document collections in a Corpus Annotation Graph.
