TL;DR
A corpus of German newspaper commentaries has been assembled and annotated with different information (and currently, to different degrees): part-of-speech, syntax, rhetorical structure, connectives, co-reference, and information structure.
Abstract
A corpus of German newspaper commentaries has been assembled and annotated with different information (and currently, to different degrees): part-of-speech, syntax, rhetorical structure, connectives, co-reference, and information structure. The paper explains the design decisions taken in the annotations, and describes a number of applications using this corpus with its multi-layer annotation.

It is argued in this article that many common adverbial phrases generally taken to signal a discourse relation between syntactically connected units within discourse structure instead work anaphorically to contribute relational meaning, with only indirect dependence on discourse structure.

Machine-assisted rhetorical structure annotation

The ConAno tool allows for efficient, interactive annotation of connectives, scopes and relations and is exported to O'Donnell's 'RST Tool', which facilitates completing the tree structure.

A machinelearning governed approach to such an analysis in the framework of Rhetorical Structure Theory is presented, which defines a chain of annotation tools that profits from a new underspecified representation of rhetorical structure.

This paper proposes an XML format for annotating rhetorical structure trees, which allows for underspecification in human and automatic analysis, and discusses the various design decisions involved.
Rhetorical parsing with underspecification and forests
