public interface IItemSpecificAgreement<T extends IAnnotationItem>
A diagnostic device for analyzing the agreement separately for each annotation item. This is useful, for instance, to identify a certain type of item that has been very easy or very difficult to annotate. Note that the definition of an annotation item depends on the actual annotation task (i.e., the type of IAnnotationStudy): Coding tasks use fixed items which are provided for each rater to annotate. In unitizing tasks, the notion of an annotation item corresponds to a certain segment within the given continuum. This segment may contain none, one, or multiple annotation units by no, one, or multiple raters.
