Client Feedback: Annotation tagging

[kstapelfeldt]

Video Annotation Feedback:

As a user, I would like the ability to tag annotations to categorize them by type or topic, so that I can more easily analyze the resulting annotation body (using more than plain text analysis).

Note: Using Islandora's Taxonomy, as we do with Islandora Forms, would be a highly desirable method for allowing users to author and manage term. See also: Integration between taxonomies and Islandora Forms. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/islandora/O5bXlqeAVoc

Next step: UI sketch

[kstapelfeldt]

1. Type an @symbol and begin typing a tag, an autcomplete brings back options (Facebook or Github type feature)
   In Twitter, this is similar to what happens when you enter a pound sign, and that would also be fine. However, note that this is different from option 3.

2. Select a WYSIWYG button and select tag a) as configured in the web annotation module or elsewhere (similar to taxonomy features) or b) some reasonable default that can handle an expanding list of annotations

Mouseover

Dialog Box

Note that ideally the dialog box could represent taxonomies as configured by the user. i.e. from one or more specific vocabularies

3. Use a hashtag to tag the annotation and reserve this character for solr indexing somehow.

• A user enters a term, identified by a pound sign close to a character (#blessed). Solr indexes any alphanumeric characters preceded by a pound sign as a string (stopping at a whitespace).

4. Something else?

User should be able to configure whether or not users can tag annotations. Tags (categories) should be available in Solr?

@kstapelfeldt
Are tags to be used to reference a particular annotation (i.e like tags for a blog post) or to enhance the content of an annotation (i.e controlled vocabulary)?

[Natkeeran]

The tagging UI here is http://projectmirador.org/demo/ is a good reference for us as well.

Requires work to both UIs and backend. We could consider a scope estimate as part of this release.
