	abstract     = {This paper describes the manual annotation of a small sample of Swedish 19th and 20th century prose fiction with interpersonal relations between characters in six literary works. An interpersonal relationship is an association between two or more people that may range in duration from brief to enduring. The annotation is guided by a named entity recognition step. Our goal is to get an in-depth understanding of the difficulties of such a task and elaborate a model that can be applied for similar annotation on a larger scale, both manually as well as automatically. The identification of interpersonal relations can, hopefully, aid the reader of a Swedish literary work to better understand its content and plot, and get a bird’s eye view on the landscape of the core story. Our aim is to use such annotations in a hybrid context, i.e., using machine learning and rule-based methods, which, in conjunction with named entity recognition, can provide the necessary infrastructure for creating detailed biographical sketches and extracting facts for various named entities which can be exploited in various possible ways by Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies such as summarization, question answering, as well as visual analytic techniques.},
