# Projects ## How Projects work The primary purpose of a project is to bring structure into your work. Project Managers and Researchers can create them by giving them a name and description. Each project contains one ontology the work is centered around. ## Creating a Project The main objective of a project is to serve as a reference point for all experiments and tasks for a specific ontology. It is also the entry point to get to experiments and tasks, create new ones and edit them. Once you are happy with your project description, click ‘Create Project’. Then you will be redirected to an overview of all of your projects. You can search or sort the projects and create new ones via the button on the top right New Project.

Create a new project view.

Projects have the following **properties**: * **Name**: A distinctive name for the project. * **Ontology**: A project has only one ontology associated with it. Note that the connected ontology can not be changed afterward! * **Description**: A description to describe the overall goal of the project ## Organizing your Projects After opening a project, you see several control panes: ![](/files/3gEXPgy0WB0RxT0zU6hh) **Experiments**: Organize your project in smaller modules like "testing an ontology", "testing annotation guidelines", "annotating a gold standard". **Annotation Guidelines**: Write or review the annotation guidelines associated with the project. **Export Annotations**: Select annotations from different experiments to export. **General Settings**: Change the properties of your project or delete it. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
