About the Project

Objectives

The objective of the project is to develop a workbench for analysing (primarily annotating) textual data that meets the following requirements:

  • ease of combining elementary text-processing components to form meaningful and comprehensive processing workflows
  • ability to manually intervene in the otherwise automatic process of annotation by correcting or creating new annotations
  • easy access by providing a web-based interface
  • user collaboration by providing sharing capabilities for user-owned resources

Argo is being developed by The National Centre for Text Mining at The University of Manchester.

Target Audience

Argo benefits the following groups of users:

  • Text-analysis designers by providing an integrated environment for the development of processing workflows.
  • Annotators/Curators by providing manual annotation functionalities supported by automatic pre-processing and post-processing.
  • Developers by providing a workbench for testing and evaluating text analytics.

Status

The system is currently in version beta. New features are added about once a month.
