cagetory ambiguity
By default, category names can be ambiguous, their name is not unique. To exactly specify a category by its name, the parent/child
notation must be used. By convention, parent/child
combinations must be unique.
On the other hand, the associated hashtags to every category (e.g. #geometry
) must always be unique.
When we assign an annotation to a category, we do not allow ambiguity, we either use the parent/child
or the #hashtag
notation to exactly specify the category.
Questions:
- are the above assumptions correct?
- should we allow ambigous categories in
annotask
queries? - should we allow something like
/geometry
to specify a top category in a search?
