“Cesax” is a computer program that handles several different types of syntactically parsed files. It allows semi-automatic coreference resolution for its own native psdx format. Cesax can handle files of the following types:
1. Psd - Text files that are part of the parsed series of English corpora (YCOE, PPCME2 etc)
2. Psdx - XML equivalents of psd files
3. Tig - Negra (Tiger) format (stand-off xml).
4. Xml - Alpino-produced xml format

§ Individual psd files: use “Cesax” (File/Import)
