Opinion traceability has two directions.

Opinion Traceability has two directions

• Now public information AI has traceability from "final report" to "original post" direction
  • It allows you to show that what is written in the report is based on "someone else's" opinion.
• But no traceability in the direction from "original submission" to "final report".
  • I can't find out where "I" put what I wrote in the report.
  • Requires traceability in both directions

"Is the word traceability appropriate? Consider other expressions.

You raise a good issue. The word "traceability" conveys the meaning, but depending on the nuance, other phrases may be more appropriate. To summarize, it can be summarized as follows.

1. traceability

• Originally means "traceability" or "retraceability". It is often used in the manufacturing and food sectors.
• It can be used for one-way tracing of "Report → Submit" without any discomfort.
• However, "Submission → Report" is meant to indicate "where the impact appeared", so "traceability" alone is somewhat weak.

2. other candidate expressions

• "Reference Relationships." Emphasizes that the link is bi-directional. Similar to "cross-referencing" in technical documents.
• Correspondence Indicate where the submission and the report description correspond. Easy to understand for the general reader.
• Origin Indication" / "Source Indication" Nuances indicating where the submission was reflected in the report.
• Visualizing Contributions." From the contributor's point of view, highlight how his/her opinion was reflected. This goes along with the visualization of the contribution.
• Impact Mapping." Image to map how the original submission affected the final outcome.

3. expression of recommendation

• In a technical context, "bi-directional traceability" or "bi-directional reference relationship".
• In the civic participation and democratic context, "avenues for reflecting opinions" and "making contributions visible".
