Reintroduce page with annotation specs? #7960

Closed plison closed 3 years ago

plison commented 3 years ago

The documentation for Spacy v2 had a very useful page describing the various (coarse and fine-grained) tagsets used for POS tagging, NER, etc. (https://v2.spacy.io/api/annotation). I often used it to find out a description of various tags, along with (very useful!) examples.

As far as I could see, this part of the documentation has disappeared in Spacy v3, and is replaced with a simple list of tags for each model, but without any description or examples. I know that one can use the function explain to get an explanation of a specific tag, but I found it useful to have easily access to the full tagset with examples from the doc website.

Would it be possible to reintroduce those tables in some form or another? I realise it may be difficult to maintain as the number of models (and associated tagsets) grows larger, but this was a super useful part of the previous documentation in my opinion :-)

Yes, you're right. We have it on our TODO to bring this page back in some form, see also: https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/discussions/7181 and https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/issues/7280 :-)

Going to close this in favor of #7280, since they're basically the same thing.
