Abstract: 
This paper describes the Ontologies of Linguistic Annotation (OLiA) as one of the data sets currently available as part of Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD) cloud. The OLiA ontologies represent a repository of annotation terminology for various linguistic phenomena on a great band-width of languages, they have been used to facilitate interoperability and information integration of linguistic annotations in corpora, NLP pipelines, and lexical-semantic resources.

I'm very pleased to see the updates to this paper. The new version clarifies the position of OLiA with respect to the GOLD and ISOCat repositories and provides a clear picture of how it is meant to interoperate with various communities.
This is an important resource and this paper provides an excellent introduction and motivation for its further use.

Review Comment:

This paper contains a well written description of the OLiA architecture, which can function as a pivot to crosswalks between annotation schemes, tagsets or term bases.

(1) Quality and relevance

Section 3 Data Set Description and Section 4 Applications show OLiA ontologies broadly cover the various knowledge bases constructed in the domain of linguistics and can be successfully applied to documentation and semantic interoperability tasks.

(2) Clarity and completeness of the descriptions

I found the paper clearly written and it provides good coverage of and discussion on related initiatives.

In the new version of the paper all comments were recognized and the minor issues have been fixed, thus, the publication gives a nice overview of OLiA with all the benefits of Linked Data and its possible applications for the community.
Good work!
