Carrying Student Annotations Across Revisions of an Openly Licensed Field Manual
A paper from the School of Underlying Conditions and the School of Continuous Improvement compares six strategies for re-attaching 18,306 student annotations across seven releases of an openly licensed soil-description field manual read on weekly-synced tablets. Approximate quote matching misplaces 27.9% of the annotations written on the manual's templated horizon descriptions, while replaying each revision's edit script in turn places 93.1% correctly and misplaces 1.6%.
