@cert needs data.probability as well as data.certainty #141

Open raffazizzi opened 9 years ago

raffazizzi commented 9 years ago

This arose as part of our work on the standoff proposal, but has more general utility:

Certainty expressed by a human judge is typically imprecise, hence the current values of @cert; but annotation in particular may be done be tools such as natural language parsers, which express their "judgements" regarding (for instance) a word's being a member of a grammatical category in the form of probability (values between 0 and 1). To support this, the @cert attribute should have a datatype which is a choice between data.certainty and data.probability.

This would be an important support for the standoff work indeed. Is the council deciding on this on the fly during the F2F?

The FTF is over (although a few of us are still sitting in the hotel lobby doing tickets while we wait to leave). But I think this is a relatively uncontroversial proposal, it doesn't break backwards compatibility, and we can fast-track it to assist the standoff proposal, so I would expect it to go quickly.

I dont mind this change going forward, though it does reverse a decision taken some time ago by the Council.

I agree with Lou. However, I didn’t like the previous decision. :-)
