MedTator: a serverless annotation tool for corpus development

A Summary: Building a high-quality annotation corpus requires expenditure of considerable time and expertise, particularly for biomedical and clinical research applications. Most existing annotation tools provide many advanced features to cover a variety of needs where the installation, integration and difficulty of use present a significant burden for actual annotation tasks. Here, we present MedTator, a serverless annotation tool, aiming to provide an intuitive and interactive user interface that focuses on the core steps related to corpus annotation, such as document annotation, corpus summarization, annotation export and annotation adjudication.
