Interface ICodingAnnotationItem

All Superinterfaces:

IAnnotationItem

All Known Implementing Classes:

CodingAnnotationItem

public interface ICodingAnnotationItem
extends IAnnotationItem

Represents a single annotation item of an ICodingAnnotationStudy. In coding tasks, annotation items are fixed, and each rater is asked to code each item. The category assigned by a certain rater is represented as annotation units. Thus, an annotation item of a coding study consists of multiple annotation units.
