Anima Research Commons

Platform for collecting, tracking, and rating crowd-sourced model interviews and conversations.

Architecture

Event Store (JSONL)

Research-critical data with flexible schemas:

• data/submissions/{submissionId}/ - Submission metadata, messages, ratings
• data/topics.jsonl - Research topics
• data/criteria.jsonl - Evaluation criteria
• data/users/{userId}.jsonl - User records

Database (SQLite)

Social/query-heavy with stable schemas:

• selections - Text ranges/annotations in submissions
• comments - Threaded comments on submissions/selections
• ratings - Linked to comments and criteria

External Integration

• Calls ARC API for certified conversation data
• Independent user registration (not shared with ARC)

Development

npm install
npm run dev

Data Model

Submissions contain a tree of messages (branching chat conversations). Researchers create selections (text ranges), comment on them, and rate them against criteria.

See src/types/ for detailed schemas.
