“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
