Editing automatic annotations
Being computationally generated, the annotations created in mapKurator may not be as perfect as those created by a human user, and may require some manual clean-up. If you want to modify any of the automatically generated annotations, click on it. You will see that the annotation polygon is made by a number of editable points. Select the point(s) that you want to move, and drag them in their new position. The click on the "ok" button to record your changes.
It is also likely that you will notice some “false positives”, i.e. annotations encasing elements that mapKurator has wrongly interpreted as text (like, for example, building footprints).
If those annotations are irrelevant to you, you can delete them in the same way as you would delete manual annotations, by clicking an the little bin icon in the bottom left corner.
In this instance, mapKurator does not provide any semantic categorisation of the text that has been detected. But such information can be manually added by users through the Recogito interface. By clicking on any annotation created by mapKurator, users can access the Recogito annotation popup, and use it to enrich the annotation with tags, comments and categories, as explained in the section about the annotation interface.
You can, of course, use both kinds of annotations on the same document. You can decide to start with mapKurator to have a first corpus of annotations that need to be verified and enriched, and then proceed filling the gaps by using the annual process.
