Dear Aman, all,
I came back to the demo and things are working.
However I think the interaction and functioning can be improved a lot.
The main problems are:
- The workflow to produce an annotation is too complicated. It would be better to have (as I suggested before) a new action in the contextual menu (when someone selects a text), that would create a pre-made triple with the text as subject and a fixed predicate and object (e.g. is-a - proof). Or alternatively find a solution to make it clear what is the sentence annotated, otherwise this information, even if present in the actual annotations triples, is not visible and one could easily get confused.
- Second problem is: at the moment I can choose 1) to save annotation in Pundit or 2) to save to wikidata. Once I saved in Pundit there is no way of pushing the annotation to wikidata. I remember the origianl idea was having users annotate inside Pundit and then choose what annotation to push in wikidata. Thus what I would like to see is a button push-to-wikidata close to each annotation from the user that appears on the side bar, or a push-the-entire-notebook-to-wikidata.
Last thing: I created an account on wikidata, but when I click push to wikidata it first askme to login and then redirects me to a page that says:
"Web Annotator Login
This is a tool that is used by other tools; it does not have an interface of its own. It can perform batch edits on WikiData under your user name using OAuth.
You have not authorized WAL to perform edits on Wikidata on your behalf. Authorize WiDaR now."
But then when I click Authorize WiDaR a blank page is opened and nothing apparently happens.
BTW: the push to wikidata should be active only if I have something to push (a triple is present in the triplecomposer)
Aman: what you think? is it possible to improve the tool?
best,
Christian
