The seven concepts
Workspace (organization)
Workspace (organization)
The container for everything: projects, members, storage. One account can belong to several workspaces, switched from the top bar; separate clients or trust boundaries belong in separate workspaces. Managed on the Organizations page. See Teams and roles.
Project
Project
One dataset-and-goal pairing with a fixed tool type (Image, LiDAR, Text or RLHF) that decides the editor. Owns its assets, schema, workflow, team activity and exports. See Creating a project.
Asset
Asset
A unit of data you uploaded: an image, a point cloud, a document. Organized by upload batches, browsable in grid or list. See Assets.
Task
Task
The unit of work: every asset automatically becomes one task, and tasks are what move through the workflow, get assigned, accumulate time and history. See Tasks.
Label Schema
Label Schema
The project’s vocabulary: classes with colors, hotkeys and attributes. Annotators arm a class and draw; the schema decides what “drawing” can mean. See Label Schema.
Annotation (instance)
Annotation (instance)
One labeled thing: a box, polygon, point, line, freeform shape, cuboid or text span, carrying its class and an instance ID. Listed and managed in Object Instances.
How a dataset actually flows
1
Set up
Create the project, define the schema, upload assets. Tasks appear automatically.
2
Produce
Labelers pull tasks, annotate with hotkeys and tools, submit. Models and agents can pre-label so humans correct instead of draw.
3
Verify
Reviewers accept or reject with pinned feedback; performance metrics track quality and pace weekly.
4
Deliver
Completed work exports in training-ready formats, partitioned by the splits and batches you maintained along the way.
