<ul><br>
<li>Cue: the lexical anchor that connects the source with the content.</li><br>
<li>Source: the entity or the agent that owns the content.</li><br>
<li>Content: the basic element expressing the claim or the reported news.</li><br>
<li>General Features: these can include such features as attribution style (direct or indirect), determinacy (factual or non-factual), and purpose (e.g., assertion, expression).</li><br>
</ul><br>
<p>The corpus contains 532 files in UTF-8 encoded plain text. Also included are annotation guidelines and the ESNAD (Extracting Sentence Attribution in Arabic Discourse) annotation tool.</p><br>
