Projects represent the combination of an Ontology, dataset(s), and team member(s) that come together to produce a set of labels. Use the Projects tab in the Navigation bar to manage your projects.

  • Annotation projects are designed to annotate various types of datasets for production purposes. Flexibly arrange and configure the workflow and individual stages a task passes through.

  • Training projects are designed to train annotators to become better at annotating and classifying datasets.

  • Manual QA projects require teams of reviewers to review annotations. This is a legacy project type and we recommend using regular annotation projects unless advised otherwise.

  • Benchmark QA projects review annotations automatically by comparing them to a benchmark. Benchmark QA is only available for select customers. Contact [email protected] for more information.

Entity relationships

The diagram below illustrates how projects relate to other entities in Encord.

  • Projects bring together ontologies and datasets.
  • A project can have multiple datasets attached to it, but only one Ontology.
  • One Ontology can be attached to multiple projects.

Annotation tab

This is where you create, filter and manage your annotation projects.

  • + New annotation project: this will initiate the project creation flow for an annotation project.
  • Search bar: typing in the search bar will filter the projects by title.
  • List of projects: clicking on a project item will take you to the annotation project dashboard for managing that project.

The circles on the right of each project item indicate the percentage of annotation and review tasks that are complete for that annotation project.

Training tab

This is where you create, filter and manage your training projects.

  • + New training project: this will initiate a new training project creation flow.
  • Search bar: typing in the search bar will filter the projects by title.
  • List of projects: clicking on a project item will take you to the test project dashboard.

The circles on the right of each project item indicate the percentage of annotation and review tasks that are complete for that training project.
