We introduce GraPAT, a web-based annotation tool for building graph structures over text. Graphs have been demonstrated to be relevant in a variety of quite diverse annotation efforts and in different NLP applications, and they serve to model annotators intuitions quite closely. In particular, in this paper we discuss the implementation of graph annotations for sentiment analysis, argumentation structure, and rhetorical text structures. All of these scenarios can create certain problems for existing annotation tools, and we show how GraPAT can help to overcome such difficulties.

Abstract
We introduce GraPAT, a web-based annotation tool for building graph structures over text. Graphs have been demonstrated to be relevant in a variety of quite diverse annotation efforts and in different NLP applications, and they serve to model annotators intuitions quite closely. In particular, in this paper we discuss the implementation of graph annotations for sentiment analysis, argumentation structure, and rhetorical text structures. All of these scenarios can create certain problems for existing annotation tools, and we show how GraPAT can help to overcome such difficulties.
