The technical implementation of Continuity tagging within Jason Barnard's Indexing Annotation Hierarchy. During indexing, the bot annotates duration signals: "since [year]," "for X years," "consistently," "ongoing" language detected and tagged. The bot also assesses cross-document continuity - repeated coverage of same topics over time.

Jason Barnard explains Continuity annotation as the bot's commitment duration detection. The bot scans for: "Since 2015..." "For 27 years..." "Consistently..." "Ongoing..." Duration phrases get tagged with calculated timespan. Cross-document analysis also reveals continuity: same entity discussing same topic across multiple dated documents = continuity signal.

The bot tags duration signals and assesses cross-document consistency. The annotation captures: What duration is claimed? Is it supported by publication history? This enables downstream algorithms to distinguish committed authorities from one-time commentators.
