GATE Teamware Overview

User roles

There are three types of users in GATE Teamware, annotators, managers and admins.

Annotators

Annotator is the default role when signing up to Teamware. An annotator can be recruited into annotation projects and annotate documents.

Managers

Managers can create, view and modify annotation projects. They can also recruit annotators to a project.

Admins

Admins, on top of what managers can do, they can also manage the users in the system and elevate them as managers or admins.

Annotation Projects, Documents and Annotations

Projects, documents and annotations form the core of the application.

Projects

An annotation project contains a configuration of how annotations are to be captured, the documents and its annotations and the recruited annotators.

Documents

A document in application refers to an individual set of arbitrary text that's to be annotated. A document is stored as arbitrary JSON object and can represent various things such as, a single post (e.g. a tweet or a post from reddit), a pair of source post and reply or a part of a HTML web page.

Annotations

An annotation represents a single annotation task against a single document. Like the document, an annotation is stored as an arbitrary JSON object and can have any arbitrary structure.
