Implication

Randomized trial evaluates annotation consistency using a rule-based protocol in bibliographic datasets, suggesting improved clarity in analytical decisions.

Key Points

The research aims to present a consistent and transparent method for bibliographic annotation using a rule-based system.
Developed a deterministic, rule-based protocol that publishes the annotation function as editable CSV tables.
Applied the protocol to a 402-item mutual-aid bibliography with fourteen dimensions and 155 controlled values.
Utilized a coverage diagnostic to evaluate scope against a LLM reference reading.
Achieved an identical tag set across re-passes under frozen tables with minimal variation from analyst interventions.
Demonstrated that the protocol allows for clear analytical decisions recorded with versioning of changes.
Identified that traditional probabilistic methods can obscure analytical reasoning, which this protocol aims to clarify.
