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
- Tags
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.

| 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 to domainName | Add a sibling domain, that is, a domain on the same level of the hierarchy |
| Add child to domainName | Add a child domain |
| Edit node domainName | Modify domain name and/or label. |
| Delete node domainName | Delete the domain |
| Copy node name domainName | Copy the domain name |
| Copy node names of selected nodes | Copy the selected domain names (after multiple selection) |
| Copy node labels of selected nodes | Copy the selected domain labels (after multiple selection) |
| Copy node label labelName | Copy the label name |
| Annotate domainName for file: YYYY | Annotate the selected domain as a categorization target for the test document YYYY that's currently opened and selected in the editor |
| Export Taxonomy | Export the taxonomy in an .xlsx format containing domain and label names |
| Taxonomy Report | Export a taxonomy report in .csv format with information about domain names, labels, total rules and annotations |
Note
Create rule appears only if a rule file is opened.
When more than one text file is opened, the context menu also has the following command:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| 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 to domainName, Add child to domainName and Edit node domainName 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.
