part-of-speech tagging
a task that gives a word a grammatical category such as verb, noun or adjective
What this term settles
The definition fixes what part-of-speech tagging means inside this vocabulary and, just as usefully, where the boundary sits. A reader who means something wider or narrower is using a different term and should say so.
Who it binds
The clause does not instruct anyone: it settles what part-of-speech tagging means so that an instruction written elsewhere can be read the same way by both sides.
What to do in your practice
Use the entry as a test in the next review. Ask the owner to point at the artefact that shows part-of-speech tagging in this sense, then record the answer with a date.
Evidence an auditor or regulator asks for
- A controlled vocabulary entry for part-of-speech tagging with the citation 3.6.13, an owner and a review date.An auditor can check that part-of-speech tagging is controlled rather than assumed.
- A product description that names the language task and the input and output it handles. The row names part-of-speech tagging.Shows part-of-speech tagging in use in the artefact the firm relies on, not only in a glossary.
- An evaluation set with the language, the domain and the scoring rule. The record carries the part-of-speech tagging entry and its date.The product description mixes the task with the model, so a change of model reads as a change of task. The gap is tested against part-of-speech tagging.
Common gaps this page catches
- part-of-speech tagging is used in the language task in the product description without a written definition, so two teams can mean different things.
- A local synonym has grown up beside part-of-speech tagging and the two are now used interchangeably.
What to prepare before the amendment lands
Add the entry to the register, give it an owner and a review date, and test it against one live artefact this week. The test is the evidence; the register row alone is not.
How to test it here
Take one live artefact rather than a template, find the sentence or field where part-of-speech tagging is used, and put this page beside it. Record the answer, the artefact and the date, because that record is the evidence and a glossary entry on its own is only an intention.
What this page does not claim
The page does not reproduce the standard, certify the firm or predict the wording the amendment will use; it states part-of-speech tagging at the claim level "definition" and stops where the public record stops.
