Task Data Format

Tasks are provided as JSONL (JSON Lines) format. Each line contains a task object with a data field.

The data field is an array of sentences, where each sentence is an array of word objects.

Word Object Structure

    "word": "Київ",
    "pos": "PROPN"    // optional: pre-tagged POS
}

• word (required): The word/token text
• pos (optional): Pre-tagged UD POS tag. If provided, the word will be shown as already tagged.

Integration with Vulyk

The plugin listens for these Vulyk framework events:

• vulyk.next — Receives new task data and renders the UI
• vulyk.save — Validates that all words are tagged and returns serialized data
• vulyk.skip — Allows skipping the current task

Dependencies

• jQuery 2.x+
• Bootstrap 3.x (for dropdown functionality)
• Handlebars.js (for template compatibility, though templates are built in JS)
• Keymaster.js (for keyboard shortcuts)
