User roles

Each user has a role in the system: reader, editor or administrator:

• Reader – may view documents
• Editor – may edit the documents (Section 6).
• Administrator – has access to configuration (Section 7).

Roles are assigned to users by administrator.

Getting started

System can be accessed from: IA tagger home

It requires: Chrome, Opera or Mozilla Firefox. To start, log in. The default password is tagger, which can be changed at any time.

How to upload a text document

Select Documents. Click File/Wybierz dokument to select a text document that should be uploaded. In the Language window select the language of the document. Click Submit, to confirm the choice of the file and the language. The name of the file will be added to the list of documents uploaded so far (Documents list).

During the upload, the text is split into sentences and words. One line corresponds to one sentence. A string of characters between spaces is interpreted as a word.

How to open a document

Select the Documents option and click the name of the document from the list (or the adjacent icon).

How to save a document

You don’t have to save the document. Each modification is automatically saved.

How to annotate a document

An opened document is split into sentences. Click next to the sentence you want to annotate. You can navigate between sentences using CTRL + arrow (up or down).

Adjusting the sentence splitting

You can adjust the automatic sentence splitting. Switch on the Edit mode (just below the menu). You can split the sentences with the scissors icon () or merge them with the glue icon ().

Editing the contents of a sentence

You can modify a sentence by adding or deleting words. Click any word in a sentence. You will see the following icons:

• - insert a new word before the current one - available for all words, which are not postpositions
• - add a new word after the current one - available only for the last word
• - remove the word (available only for words that do not have postpositions; to remove a word that has a postposition, you must first separate it from the postposition)
• - or (Ctrl-y) - mark the next word as a postposition (available only for words that do not have postpositions, are not postpositions themselves and do not end the line)
• - or (Ctrl-u) - separate the word from the postposition (available only postpositions or words having postpositions).

Word breaking

Words can be split into a stem and a suffix: Click the word, select the position of the split with the mouse and press Ctrl-J. Confirm with Enter. To remove the split press Ctrl-K and confirm with Enter.

Word annotation

Words can be annotated at six different levels (levels can be set in Configuration menu, Section 7). To annotate a word at the selected level click on the level under the word you annotate.

Annotation levels

• LEXEME = equivalent English gloss
• GRAMMAR = grammatical role.
  Type the starting character(s) of the tag and you will see the list of all tags beginning with the typed characters. For example: typing the ‘f’ character displays three tags starting with ‘f’: F (feminine), FOC (focus), FUT (future); typing the „pr” string displays six tags starting with „pr”. Click the tag from the list to annotate the word.
• OTHER LEVELS
  Annotation at other levels consists in selecting one or more suggestions offered by the system. To select or deselect the offered suggestion click it or press the shortcut button (given in the brackets). Moving to another edit box or pressing enter saves the value of the current edit box.

Sentence annotation

Sentences are annotated at two levels (levels are set up in the Configuration menu, Section 7): Add info (additional information) and English (English translation). At both levels sentences are annotated manually.
