-=== Basic Annotation Workflow ===+ ===== Basic Annotation Workflow =====
  
-[[transcribe_a_text|Text file]]+ ==== Transcribe your text ====
  
-At this point, you may follow one of two paths: +Transcribe your text in [[gitdox_workflow|GitDox]]. Alternatively, transcribe your text into a [[transcribe_a_text|text file]]. Be sure the transcription divides the text into bound groups
-  - Use the Natural Language Processing (NLP) Service online +
-  - Process using our NLP tools individually on your local machine+
  
-== NLP Service Online Workflow ==+At this point, you will want to use the Natural Language Processing (NLP) Service online.  Veteran users will remember processing texts with individual NLP tools on a local machine and then editing the annotations in an Excel spreadsheet. The local process is outlined at the end of this page, but it is no longer recommended.
  
-Copy your transcribed text into [[https://corpling.uis.georgetown.edu/coptic-nlp/|NLP Service]].  This service provides SGML output of your text in a format that is tokenized, normalized, and tagged for part-of-speech, lemma, and language of origin+ ==== Running the NLP Service in GitDox ==== 
 + 
 +[[natural_language_processing_service_online|Run the NLP Service]] on your transcribed text in GitDox.   
 +  * If your text is in a text file, copy and paste it into the GitDox text editor. (See the [[gitdox_workflow|GitDox]] page for more information on using the GitDox text editor.) 
 +  * If your text is already transcribed into the GitDox text editor and validated (see [[gitdox_workflow|GitDox]]), you're ready for the NLP tools. 
 + 
 +You will see an NLP button below the text window. Click it. 
 + 
 +//Note for veteran GitDox users: you do not need to proofread tokenization as part of the NLP Service process. The NLP service works better, now, without tokenizing first.// 
 + 
 +Clicking this button will annotate your data and change the format from running text to a spreadsheet, in which each item of textual data (known as a "token") is a row in the spreadsheet, with each annotation as a column.  
 + 
 + ==== Editing the annotations in the GitDox spreadsheet ==== 
 + 
 +You can then edit the annotations manually. For example: 
 +  * You can add "Greek" to the "lang" (=language of origin) column if the tools failed to recognize and annotate a Greek loan word.   
 +  * You can correct the lemma, part-of-speech tag or normalization 
 +  * You can add an editorial note in a note_note column 
 + 
 +Tips: 
 +  * You may need to add or subtract rows if the tokenization needs correcting. When doing so **be careful of all the annotation layers, especially the spans for pages, columns, and lines. Ensure the spans all begin and end where they are supposed to.** 
 +  * At the top of the spreadsheet in the upper right, you can click on a little bar in the upper right above the scrolling column and pull it down one row to freeze the column of labels in place as you scroll. 
 +  * You do not need to manually edit the columns for parsing. You do not need to worry about preserving the spans in these columns. Parsing will be done at a later step (whether manually or automatically). 
 +  * Use the [[https://coptic-dictionary.org|online dictionary]] to look up word forms and their lemmas. 
 +  * Use ANNIS to search for word forms and how we usually tag/lemmatize them 
 +  * Prefacing a layer label (column label) with "ignore:" will ensure that that column is not imported into our public published data (ANNIS, GitHub). 
 + 
 +Add verse and chapter layers following our [[versification|guidelines on chapter divisions and versification]]. 
 + 
 +Add a translation layer (even if you are not providing a translation at this time). Translation layers are usually the same length as the verse layer.  
 +  * To add a translation layer, position your cursor in the first row in the column to the right of the verse layer. Click on the button above the spreadsheet to add a column (it should show a green column). The spreadsheet will then add a column with spans matching the column on the left. 
 +  * If you are not providing an English translation right now, fill all translation spans with "...".  (Three periods, not the ellipsis character.) 
 + 
 +Check all the column names to be sure they conform to [[annotation_layer_names|our guidelines for annotation layers]]. 
 +  * In most cases, verse and translation spans should be identical in length, because typically verses are a sentence long. See [[versification|our guidelines on versification]] for more information. 
 +  * You can delete unnecessary layers. If you are unsure about whether a layer/column should be deleted, relabel it with an "ignore:" prefix and ask a senior editor 
 + 
 +Click the "validation" button to validate the data (= ensure it has valid structure to be published).  If you are having trouble fixing validation errors, please contact a senior editor. 
 + 
 +While data is saved automatically and frequently in the spreadsheet mode, we strongly recommend annotators commit their changes **often** using the commit log under the spreadsheet.  Please use a commit message you will understand when you return to your work days or weeks later. (For example, "checked rows 101-200" is more detailed and more understandable than "continued checking annotations".) 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Using our NLP tools individually on your local machine ==== 
 + 
 +You will need to download the tools from our GitHub site. We no longer recommend using this process, as the most up to date tools are on our NLP online tool suite, available in three ways: 
 +  - [[https://corpling.uis.georgetown.edu/coptic-nlp/|on our website]] (cut and paste or type in Coptic text) 
 +  - an API (see [[https://corpling.uis.georgetown.edu/coptic-nlp/]] for contact information) 
 +  - using our annotation environment GitDox (see above) 
 + 
 +If you are using our standalone tools, here are the steps:

-      * Make sure that the spans of the tok, norm, and at least one of the group layers are all accurately aligned. +

-[[create_a_normalized_bound_group_layer|Create an original text ("orig") layer]]+Add missing information to existing layers. For instance, replace lb and cb placeholders in lb@n and cb@n columns with line and column numbers from original manuscript.
  
-[[create_a_normalized_bound_group_layer|Create an original text in bound groups ("orig_group") layer]]+Note:  the following steps are a guide to the kinds of work you will be doing.  It is organized around the principle of editing one annotation layer at a time.  When using the NLP pipeline to annotate everything at once, some editors, however, prefer to correct all annotation layers for one row at the same time and to go through the file row by row.
