Major topics in evaluation section

  • Navigation -- good
  • Adding value to existing attributes is easy
  • Choosing between attributes and statements is hard (what conceptual differences do people have here?)
  • People are sentence-centric
    • imitating word order of the sentence
      • (sometimes use passive voice to get subject on LHS though)
    • including superfluous words in various boxes
    • don't seem to realize they're building knowledge (they think they're writing weird sentences)
    • autocomplete doesn't necessarily help people "fall into consistency"
  • People are likely to create roles when the new role is radically different from existing roles
  • Roles are pretty easy on LHS but not RHS
  • Undo-ing is natural and easy to use (even without explanation)
  • Users want to add units.

Misc action items:

  • Find reference for "a small group of informal testers works great." (Palo Alto Xerox PARC?) (CD)
  • Find out the way to do units in the Semantic Web. (JH)
