Mae Based Tool for Semantic Annotation of a Source Code

The motivation for this research came with the need for a tool that can be easily used for annotating the source code and which would provide the most suitable output for latter processing and analysis. The output should represent all of the pieces of annotated code followed by annotation given, and additional features. These features refer both to the text of the code and annotation such as a field that expands the meaning of annotation and begin and end positions in a document of the text and annotation. For the purpose of annotating source code we have used an existing tool MAE. In order to facilitate retrieving of an output this paper proposes a solution to transforming MAE output and mapping it to another more suitable form.
