Introduction -[neat](https://github.com/qurator-spk/neat) is a simple, browser-based tool for editing and annotating text with named entities to produce a dataset for training/testing/evaluation. It can be used to add or correct named entity BIO-tags in a TSV file and to correct the token text or tokenization (e.g. due to OCR/segmentation errors). +[neat](https://github.com/qurator-spk/neat) is a simple, browser-based tool for editing and annotating text with named entities to produce labeled data for training/testing/evaluation. It can be used to add or correct named entity labels in a TSV file and to correct the token text or tokenization (e.g. due to OCR/segmentation errors). [neat](https://github.com/qurator-spk/neat) is developed at the [Berlin State Library](https://staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/) for data annotation in the [SoNAR-IDH](https://sonar.fh-potsdam.de/) project and the [QURATOR](https://qurator.ai/) project. ### 2.
