Abstract
Staccato, the Segmentation Agreement Calculator According to Thomann, is a software tool for assessing the degree of agreement of multiple segmentations of some time-related data (e.g., gesture phases or sign language constituents). The software implements an assessment procedure developed by Bruno Thomann and will be made publicly available. The article discusses the rationale of the agreement assessment procedure and points at future extensions of Staccato.
