Coding schemes or 'Codingschemas' as they are called in AmCAT, consist of variables and their possible values that are used for coding articles manually on the article or sentence level, in the annotator. These two types of schemes (articleschemas and unitschemas) look a bit different in use, but they are created in a similar way.
The next step is to fill the scheme with variables and attach codebooks to these variables. To do so, select ‘Edit fields’ to start adding variables.
