Dear Cristiano,
I'd be very interested in seeing some samples and a summary of the report,
if the PCF would allow this. I'd also be interested to know if any follow-up
research is planned to see if the general quality of tagging / level of
abuse changes once the tagger is exposed to a more general population, not
just invitees to the pilot, though of course specialists and other people in
the arts sector can now join in, so it possible this may get even better!
regards
Paul
