Time to evaluate: Targeting Annotation Tools.
Peyman Sazedj, H. Sofia Pinto · 2005
Abstract. One of the problems newcomers to the annotation area face is which tool to choose. In order to compare available tools one must evaluate them according to an evaluation framework. In this paper we propose an evaluation framework, that introduces general tool-focused criteria – interface and general – and annotation-focused criteria- metadata and procedure. We describe how the evaluation of a set of tools was performed and the results of such a comparison. Our results may not only be useful to newcomers, but also to experts who may use them to seize new opportunities for development. 1
