Annotation Types
Potato ships 61 annotation types. These pages cover the ones most projects use, from radio buttons and Likert scales to spans, media, and agent traces.
An annotation type is the value of annotation_type in a scheme, and it decides what an annotator is asked to do with an item. Potato's registry has 61 of them.
The pages here cover the types most projects reach for. Radio and multiselect and Likert scales cover most labelling work. Span annotation and its relatives handle anything where the answer is a stretch of text rather than a whole item. The image, audio and video pages cover annotation over media. The comparison types, pairwise and best-worst, cover judgments that are easier to make relatively than absolutely.
If you are still choosing between types rather than configuring one you have picked, Choosing an Annotation Scheme is the better place to start. The config builder generates valid YAML for all 61 types.
