Classes
The Classes tool window allows managing the classes of output information of the project, that is:
- The domains to which categorization rules can give points
- The templates of the extraction records whose fields can be set by extraction rules
The tool window has two panels:
- Taxonomy
- Templates
Taxonomy
The Taxonomy panel displays and allows managing the project taxonomy, that is, the tree structure in which categorization domains are defined.
The default view is a table in which each row represents a first-level domain. Rows can then be expanded to reveal descendant domains.
Columns are:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Domain name |
| Label | Domain description |
| Rules | Number of categorization rules that give points to the domain |
| Ann | Number of times the domain was annotated as a target output category for test documents |
| Shortlist | Selection check box |
Info
Selected domains become part of the list from which you can choose when annotating target categories for a test document in the Project tool window or in the editor.
Context menu
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Expand node | Expand the current node. Available only if there are descendant domains |
| Compress node | Collapse the current node. Available only if there are descendant domains |
| Create rule | Create a rule based on the selected domain |
| Add node | Add a sibling domain, that is, a domain on the same level of the hierarchy |
| Add child | Add a child domain |
| Edit node | Modify domain name and/or label. |
| Delete node | Delete the domain |

| Export Taxonomy | Export the taxonomy in .csv format (for Enterprise Edition) |
| Annotate XXXX for file: YYYY | Annotate domain XXXX as a categorization target for the test document YYYY that's currently opened and selected in the editor |
When one or more domains are checked, the context menu has also the following commands:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Annotate checked nodes for file: XXXX | Annotate the checked domains as a categorization target for the test file XXXX that's currently opened and selected in the editor. |
| Annotate checked nodes for all opened test files | Annotate the checked domains as a categorization target for all the test files currently opened in the editor. Option available for more than one file opened |
Add node, Add child and Edit node commands open the Taxonomy Node dialog box. In it, the Generate command creates a suggested name for the domain. You can overwrite the suggestion and give the domain the name you prefer.
