Re: named entity annotation / certainty / provenance

Ah, interesting example!

Regarding the confidence they used an 'example' namespace as far as I see.
I guess my recommendation is still valid. Do what you need to do for your
use case and, if you feel that can be good also for others, please
contribute it back to the list. Personally I always needed to record a
single score but I am sure there are counter examples.

Thank you Sebastian for the feedback, I updated the example in the Cookbook
accordingly:
