Although the SIMPLE guidelines seem very detailed, there nevertheless arose some problems for the annotation. Some of the words did not seem to fit in any of the classes, e.g. Frisur refers to the way hair is cut and styled, it is something typical of mankind, yet it is not a 'body part', nor 'clothing', and it seems also awkward to classify simply as 'artifact'. Consequently, it was classified with two semtypes, 'artifact' (produced by man) and 'body part'. Another word which was hard to classify is Tote (someone dead), it is a human being, however, it is not a 'living entity' (the superclass of 'human'). The counterpart 'dead entity' does not exist. Thus, it was classified as a 'organic object', which seems rather far fetched. The word Bühne (stage ) as well seemed problematic. It is neither really a 'part of a building' nor 'furniture', 'artifact' and 'location' on the other hand also seemed odd. Thus, again, it was classified with two semtypes: 'part of building' and 'furniture'.
The results were stored in a database.
