Question Set

A question set is a dataset containing an organised set of questions that youy may want to ask a text.

Question sets are expressed in terms of IAT/ML, and consist of a collection of elements plus relationships between them.

Details

A question set contains questions of different kinds organised in groups.

It can also contain option lists and entity lists that define scopes and possible answers to questions.

A question set may contain an embedded context.

Types of question sets

Question sets can be:

Independent. That is, you can create and work with a question set stored in a file if you want to analyse a single text. Question set files have a .llq extension.
Dependent:
- Embedded. This is the case of a question set embedded in an agency model, a corpus, or a corpus topic. These question sets are stored as part of the agency model file or corpus database, so there is no risk that they are misplaced.

Working with question sets

You work with question sets depending on their type.

Independent

You can create an independent question set by opening the backstage and clicking New, Question Set.

You can open an existing independent question set by opening the backstage and clicking Open.

You can save an independent question set by clicking the Save button on the Home ribbon tab, or via the Save and Save As commands in the backstage.

Embedded in an agency model

An embedded question set is automatically created when you create an agency model.

To open the embedded question set, click the Edit Question Set button in the Home ribbon tab for the owner window.

Since this question set is embedded in its owner agency model, you don't need to save it. It will be saved together when you save the owner agency model. You can close the question set and return to the owner agency model by clicking the Return to Owner button on the Home ribbon tab.

Embedded in a corpus

You can create a question set embedded in a corpus by clicking the Create Question Set button in the Home ribbon tab of the corpus window.

To open the question set embedded in a corpus, click the Edit Question Set button in the Home ribbon tab for the corpus window.

Since this question set is embedded in its owner corpus, you don't need to save it. It will be saved together when you save the owner corpus. You can close the question set and return to the owner corpus by clicking the Return to Owner button on the Home ribbon tab.

Embedded in a corpus topic

You can create a question set embedded in a topic by right-clicking the topic and clicking Create Question Set... in the context menu.

To open a question set embedded in a topic, right-click the topic and then click Edit Question Set in the context menu.
