Defining a Task¶
A task is the container for one interpretation. It records who is doing the work and what they are interpreting. This is step 1 of the workflow.
Filling in the form¶
The task form has three fields, all required:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Editor | The name of the person carrying out the interpretation |
| Label | A short title for the task |
| Description | A fuller explanation of what is being interpreted and why |
The Continue button stays disabled until all three fields are filled. Once they are, click Continue to move to source collection.
What happens behind the scenes¶
When you start a task, the editor creates a task with two stable identifiers:
- a task IRI, and
- an interpretation IRI linked to it.
These identifiers travel with the task through saving and loading, so a task you reopen from TriplyDB keeps its identity rather than becoming a new one. You do not need to manage these IRIs yourself — the editor handles them.
Reopening an existing task
If you want to continue earlier work rather than start fresh, skip this step and use the load banner (or the task retrieval panel) to open a saved task. Its editor, label, and description are restored automatically. See Saving and loading.
