[CWB] News texts in CQPWeb

[Kurt Sultana]

Hi,

I've dug up a bit and have come to know that the attributes I mentioned are
stored as s-attributes. So, I have this example text:

<news title="A Thrilling Experience" date="01/01/2013" source="
www.timesofmalta.com">
<text id="4">
<p id="1">
<s>
Tick    NN    tick
.    SENT     .
</s>
<s>
A    DT     a
clock    NN    clock
.    SENT    .
</s>
<s>
Tick    VB    tick
,    ,    ,
tick    VB    tick
.    SENT    .
</s>
</p>
</text>
</news>

As s-attributes (XML elements) I put in *p*, *p_id*, *news*, *news_title*, *
news_source* and *news_date*. Upon installing the corpus, I select to
install metadata via xml annotated within the corpus and select *news_title*,
*news_source* and *news_date* however when I click on "Create metadata
table from XML using settings above", I get this error:

*Error message*
**** CQP ERROR ****
CQP Error:
No annotated values for s-attribute ``news_title'' in named query c_M_F_xml


I'm not 100% confident of what I'm doing since it's my first time, so I
might have easily misunderstood something. What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance,
Kurt
