Details

The builtin_domaintable is created by script data-raw/R/save_builtin_domaintable.R.

Each SME could attribute domains to an item, the expert could distribute their vote to multiple domains if applicable. SME votes were weighted to a proportional distribution of votes over the domains for each item.
