This scenario is about a general domain scenario putting into practice Scribo technology.

Context and objectives

Katia has the following entries already existing in her Nepomuk store: year 2009, city Amsterdam, projects STATIS, SOA4l and BREIN, persons Henry Ryan, Stefano Baroca, companies ATOS and Nokia. Below is the text content of the email together with its semantic representation containing both annotations resulting from the Scribo NLP components and manual annotations added by Katia

days. You chose and take advantage of the sessions, workshops and facilities that fit best 
your interests and objectives.

In the mockup above:

• The text field support edition and completion support based on the range of their corresponding properties (i.e. in the "Location" field, only locations will be searched for).
• The +/- buttons next to the properties let the user add other property values to each property.
• The menu options let the user characterize the current entry by adding other property/values pair.
• The related items section at the bottom displays all the other referenced items that appear in triples involving the current entry. Typically, the files attached to the email above will appear as objects stemming from the email linked to the current event.
• The user can open similar annotation windows relating to any item of the window. For example, the user can get more information about each task listed, and modify them from another annotation window.

Note that the mockup can be edited under Impress for enhanced versions (see the link at the bottom of this page).

Semi-automatic annotation of the email

Getting to such an annotation view semi-automatically requires that the following text fragments are properly identified either automatically or manually. When identified automatically, the user can either accept/reject/refine them individually, or do global operations such as accept/reject all annotations.

The table below lists all text fragments that get highlighted automatically with suggested annotations available contextually to each fragment. These annotations are available as tooltips showing up when rolling over the text, and can be individually accepted/rejected or refined through a context menu linked to each item.
