Public Web A selection of terms you may encounter in our documentation.
- action item
- "a documented event, task, activity, or action that needs to take place." (WP)
- annotator
- corpora
- "a large and structured set of texts (now usually electronically stored and processed)" (WP)
- discourse
- "In semantics, discourses are linguistic units composed of several sentences — in other words, conversations, arguments or speeches." (WP)
- entities
- import
- importers
- (Type of script.) Provide corpora importing capabilities.
- labels
- (Type of plugin.) Display entities on tracks.
- media
- An audio and/or visual recording of a meeting.
- meeting
- models
- In NOMOS, annotations are represented as assertions about the data, which are grouped into collections of assertions called models. Each of these models is generally referred to as a session. More specific information about models is available in the section on semantic annotation.
- metadata
- "data that describe other data. Generally, a set of metadata describes a single set of data, called a resource." (WP)
- ontology
- "a data model that represents a domain and is used to reason about the objects in that domain and the relations between them." (WP)
- partitioning
- In a perspective, the action which may be applied to queries which automatically divides the query results into multiple tracks, based on the model from which the result originates or on the value of some other variable in the query.
- panels
- (Type of plugin.) Displaying non-*temporal* entities.
- perspectives
- Define what data is displayed, how that data is displayed, and how the user can interact with the displayed data. A perspective is a specific configuration of the GUI, consisting of a user-defined set of queries and plugins which together determine the way data is displayed to, and annotated by, the user.
- plugins
- NOMOS uses a variety of plugins to display, process, and interact with data. Plugins are Java code extensions to the NOMOS code base. NOMOS allows for the usage and development of several different types of plugins: tracks, labels, panels, scripts. NOMOS provides a full-featured annotation environment out-of-the-box, but it may be useful to create custom-designed interfaces for specific annotation tasks. For these tasks, new or derived plugins provide a mechanism for altering NOMOS's default behavior.
- processors
- (Type of script.) Provides data processing capabilities. Usually requires Java coding to implement. (See also, queries.)
- producer
- The source of annotation data; the annotator.
- queries
- Select data for display or manipulation within NOMOS. A query is constructed using a convenient table/grid interface, but is internally represented with standard SPARQL. Usage does not require Java development. (See also, processors.)
- scripts
- (Type of plugin.) Provide an interface for running batch processes over multiple sessions via the NOMOS GUI. Scripts can be used for almost any processing task. They are ideal for exportation tasks: for example, you could write a script which would convert a set of annotations into an XML file format. Processors and importers are types of scripts.
- semantic
- "Semantics refers to the aspects of meaning that are expressed in a language, code, or other form of representation." (WP) However, often refers to technologies or standards associated with the Semantic Web (WP).
- session
- A session is a tuple, consisting of an annotator, a dataset to annotate, and a perspective. A session encompasses the performance of a single annotation task by a particular annotator (human or otherwise) on a particular dataset. Each session is referred to by a unique name, using the following string attributes:
- annotator: The person (or computer program) that made the annotations in the session
- main object: This is a string describing the "main object" being annotated.
- data type: A short string describing the type of annotations stored in this session.
- session ID: The session id mainly exists as an extra attribute to differentiate otherwise identical sessions. For example, it might carry version information.
- In NOMOS, and in this manual, sessions are often abbreviated in the form
annotator--main_object--data_type--session_id.
- sparql
- SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language (WP)
- templates
- A deprecated term for perspectives. You may still encounter this word in source code or some older documentation.
- temporal
- Relating to time, or time-dependent.
- tracks
- (Type of plugin.) Visually display temporal entities (or entities related to temporal entities).
