Entity Linking Questionnaire

(donwload csv results here)

The main objective of this questionnaire is to gain insights into what the community considers to be the goal of Entity Linking. We will present two sentences as examples. These examples consider English Wikipedia as the target of Entity Linking. We then ask you which annotations you think an Entity Linking system should output. Given our objective, we do not provide explicit criteria (there are no "correct answers"). Instead, we would like you to select the annotations that, according to your criteria, you think should ideally be targetted by Entity Linking systems (independent of difficulty).

To save time, note that we generally do not expect you to check Wikipedia pages except for cases where you feel clarification is needed. In order to gauge your opinion, we encourage you to select an available option for each question; however, in case you do not understand an annotation, you may leave a question blank.

Please note that we plan to publish the responses for all multiple-choice answers. However, we will only publish/directly quote optional comments where you indicate that you are okay with that. We will not ask for your name or contact details.

We thank you in advance!
