These features contain additional information specific to these nodes, facilitating diverse linguistic analyses and data extraction.

This is the key to the meaning of the features of the Nestle 1904 GBI dataset. The available features can be taken grouped together as follows:

• Grid features
• Sectional features
• Lexical features
• Orthographic features

The concept ‘features’ in Text-Fabric

Text-Fabric, true to its name, implements the concepts of ‘warp’ and ‘weft’, inspired by textile weaving, to represent its data. The ‘warp’ denotes the foundational structured data, encompassing linguistic annotations like words, and phrases, while the ‘weft’ refers to the additional layers of information, known as features. These features encompass linguistic data, annotations, and metadata, seamlessly woven into the ‘warp’ data, resulting in a clear separation between structure and content. This approach enables Text-Fabric to efficiently handle complex linguistic datasets with versatility.
