Community skin for spreadsheet module Did:5

No due date 0% complete

Allow community users to add data via the spreadsheet module using a different interface from linguists.

Default view has fewer fields and removes the linguist-specific ones so as to not overwhelm users, e.g. utterance, translation, audio, notes. However users can add additional custom fields as with the existing spreadsheet module.

Allow community users to add data via the spreadsheet module using a different interface from linguists.

Default view has fewer fields and removes the linguist-specific ones so as to not overwhelm users, e.g. utterance, translation, audio, notes. However users can add additional custom fields as with the existing spreadsheet module.

This version is an approximation of what we think community users might want, to give people an idea of what's possible, however other custom skins can be created in response to individual users' needs. (Potentially a skin based on the fields in the Mi'kmaq Online talking dictionary? http://www.mikmaqonline.org/servlet/dictionaryFrameSet.html)

Tasks: Workshop (Canadian & US teams, community language workers with guest speakers); training community users in annotation using augmented client app (~20 hrs); test annotation time cost and error rate comparing expert (linguist) vs. non-expert (community user)

Milestones: Publish the time cost test result on the website and submit results for a publication in a journal specializing in computational linguistics.

Success criteria: No significant difference in annotation time and error rate between expert and non-expert. To be measured by comparing volunteer sample groups using the same data.

Risks: The user interface may not be immediately transparent to non-experts with only a small amount of annotation training. The project will seek the input of non-experts about the user interface in order to avoid this setback.
