These command-line tools implement composable manipulations of segmented and annotated text in a VRT format aka verticalized text, related to Corpus WorkBench that is used in the back-end to the Korp concordance engine.
The basic function of the VRT tools is to preserve previous annotations, including structural markup that may contain valuable information about the text units, without the underlying tools even knowing that their input sentences are extracted from such context. New annotations from an underlying tool are added to their proper place in the input document.
The major innovation in FIN-CLARIN VRT is the use of names for the fields that are only positional in basic format. In the basic format the declaration of names is only a comment but these VRT tools use it extensively.
