A Text-Item Creation Task is a content creation task that is a general language generation task (for producing a text artifact).

• AKA: Text Generation, Text Creation.
• Context:
  • Input: Text Generation Parameters, Generation Requirements, Content Context.
  • Output: Text Artifacts, Generation Results.
  • Measure: Text Generation Quality, Text Correctness, Generation Efficiency.
  • ...
  • It can support Text-Based Workflows through content generation.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Human-Performed Text Generation Task to being an Automated Text Generation Task, depending on its generation method.
  • It can range from being an Open-Domain Text Generation Task to being a Domain-Specific Text Generation Task, depending on its content scope.
  • It can range from being an Open-Ended Text Generation Task to being a Close-Ended Text Generation Task, depending on its constraint level.
  • It can range from being a General Sentence Generation Task to being a General Paragraph Generation Task to being a General Text Document Generation Task, depending on its output scope.
  • It can range from being a Simple Text Generation Task to being a Complex Text Generation Task, depending on its task complexity.
  • ...
  • It can be supported by Text Generation Systems.
  • It can follow Text Creation Standards.
  • It can maintain Generation History.
  • It can integrate with Content Management Systems.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Text Transformation Tasks, such as:
    • Paraphrasing Tasks for content rewording.

  • ABSTRACT: This paper presents a special issue on writing around the globe. Researchers from across the world describe writing practices in their country using a wide variety of methodology. The paper show that while there are many similarities in writing instruction from one country to the next, there are also many differences. As a result, the authors call for a new international study of writing, one that takes more descriptive rather than a comparative approach.
