Annotations correspond to a variant of the TEI-P5 feature structures
(TEI Consortium; Lee et al. 2004).
+Annotation feature structures refer to character sequences of the primary text
+inside the C<text> element of the C<data.xml>.
+A single annotation containing the lemma of a token can have the following structure:
+
+ <span from="0" to="3">
+ <fs type="lex" xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
+ <f name="lex">
+ <fs>
+ <f name="lemma">zum</f>
+ </fs>
+ </f>
+ </fs>
+ </span>
+
+The C<from> and C<to> attributes are refering to the character span
+in the primary text.
+Depending on the kind of annotation (e.g. token-based, span-based, relation-based),
+the structure may vary. See L<KorAP::XML::Annotation::*> for various
+annotation preprocessors.
