MORE ABOUT BOOKS AND TRANSLATIONS:

1. Book editions and publishing houses may vary, this does not make the book
different!

2. A translation of a book to a local language when compared to the page where the
book in the original language should be considered Same entity. Even if the translated
version technically has more authors (the translators' names are listed alongside the
author's name). Please check "Examples" section!

3.The same book might be named differently in different languages! Please check the
original title!

4.When the book comes in several parts or volumes, one volume is not the same as the
full book, they are different! Please be attentive.

5. Audio books are not the same as text form books.

6. Please pay attention to adaptations vs. original works! It might not be clear from the
name that this is an adaptation or a shortening, but the synopsis and an extra writer are
a hint.

7. Illustrated books are the same as the originals, because they share the text, but comic
books based on novels, stories etc are NOT the same because the text gets changed!

Task Overview
Given Two Webpages, compare them and decide if they refer to the same Primary Entity.

Process Steps
1. Read the web page on the left.
2. Read the web page on the right
3. Determine the primary entity of both pages and decide if it is the same.
4. Choose ‘Same’ or ‘Different’ as the answer. If you see a blank screen instead of a web page
please open in a new tab, if it does not open in the new tab either, or does not exist, please click
on 'Page Not Found'.
5. If there are not enough details available to make a decision, please choose 'Not Enough Info'
6. You can skip the task if you are not sure
Rating Examples
1. "Same" if the two webpages refer to the same Primary Entity. Examples:

1.1. Person - Same name, same birth/death date/year if available, same image if available. Basically if
there is evidence that they refer to the same person.

1.2. Movie - Same name, same release year if available, approximately same duration if available,
same director, cast & storyline if available. Basically, if you watch the film it would look same. Note that
different names for different markets are possible for the same movie!

1.3. Book/Product - Same name, author/company, year(s) of initial publishing. Basically, it should be
same book/product - editions and publishing houses (for books) may vary. Note that different version of
same story should be considered different!

7. Illustrated books are the same as the originals, because they share the text,
but comic books based on novels, stories etc are NOT the same because the
text gets changed!

1.4. TV Shows - Same season number if the webpage is about a season. Same episode number if the
webpage is about particular episode of a particular season of a particular series. Basically, if you watch,
it would look same. Please be careful to notice what the page is mainly about: the show, the season
or a particular episode. Both pages should be about the same topic. A season and an episode are not
the same topic!

1.5. Places - Same name, city, country, same full address if available.

1.6. If a Wikipedia page redirects to a section within a full-page, but the full-page refers to the same
primary entity that the other webpage refers to, please mark as "Same". IMPORTANT! Not only
Wikipedia has a special URL to a section of a particular page. Some TV shows have separate sections for
separate episodes – and if the URL directs to that particular section, this is the topic you should
compare to the topic of the other page! Please see more in “Examples” section.

IMPORTANT!
Here are some examples of webpages that should be marked 'Same'
• The same film/book/person/etc., even if the pages for comparison are in different languages
(but refer to same entity).
• The same film/book, even if the names used in different countries vary (e.g. 'Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer’s stone' in the US vs 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone' in the UK).
• Different editions (different years, publishing houses) of the same book by same author. Even
when the languages differ, but you still can understand them.

2. "Different" if the two webpages refer to different Primary Entities. Examples:

2.1. Person - people with different names. People with same name but different birth/death
dates. Different images. Basically if there is enough evidence that these are different people.

2.2. Movie - movies with different directors, cast. Series vs a particular episode in that series
should be marked as "Different". Basically, if you watch the movie, it would look different.

2.3. TV Shows - Full Series vs a particular season/episode in that series should be marked as
"Different".

2.4 TV Shows - a Wikipedia page called 'List of [series name] episodes' vs a page of the series
itself should be marked as "Different". IMPORTANT! Please analyze attentively, if the page has just the
list of episodes as its main topic, or it is the TV show’s/season’s page but with a block for a list of
episodes. Please see more in “Examples” section.

2.5. Sports - Team vs Player who played for the Team should be marked "Different".

2.6. Music - Band webpage vs individual artist webpage should be marked "Different".

ABOUT ORIGINAL AND REMIXED SONGS/ALBUMS: Original versions of songs/albums as


opposed to Deluxe, Remastered, Remixed, Instrumental, Expanded, In-House etc
versions should be considered different entities!

2.7. Wikipedia page showing list of different pages vs. a particular page should be marked
"Different".

IMPORTANT!
Here are some examples of webpages that should be marked 'Different'
• The first book of a book trilogy vs full trilogy (same as a TV Show example above)
• An article about an artist vs a book of the artist's paintings
A book vs a film based on the same story
and similar examples

3."Not Enough Information" should be used when even though the pages opens, there is not enough
context on one or both pages to compare them.

4. "Page Not Found" for cases when the comparison cannot be made because one of pages does not
exist.

If you are not sure, you can skip the task.

Note: Sometimes you might have to translate the webpage to the language you understand. Most
browsers support translation. For example, both Chrome and Edge support Right Click > Translate to
English.
Some tips

1. Please don't forget that the same film might have different names in different
countries. Often one of pages will also provide information about the film's other
name(s) - use it.
2. Check the Director's name. It is very useful, when comparing films, but don't forget that
name and surname might be shortened and go in different order (e.g. John Lee and Lee
John is likely the same director if we compare likely same films)
3. Check the film length. Please keep in mind that some difference in length (e.g. 127 min
and 129 min) sometimes could be indicated even for the same film. But if the films differ
in length considerably (e.g. 15 min and 126 min), it should make you doubt it is the same
film.
4. Check the release year. There could be +- 1 year differences for the same film because
of different release dates in different countries. Also, sometimes a festival film might be
released on wide screen 2-3 years later, and this also results in the same film's having
several release dates.
5. For TV series, check if the page is about an episode, a season or the whole series. If one
page is about, say, season, and the other is the whole series, these are different
entities!
6. TV Shows - a Wikipedia page called 'List of [series name] episodes' vs a page of the
series itself should be marked as "Different".

See for Song Type Tasks (August 2023)

Comparing web pages for song type content may be tricky! Please follow the item mentioned above to increase your
success in SBS evaluation.

➢ Check the page content but not only page titles!

Left Webpage Right Webpage


https://genius.com/Ishowspeed-ronaldo-sewey- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristiano_Ronaldo
lyrics

Comment: Although the webpages have same title, Primary Entities covered on these pages are totally different.
Left page is a song and right page is a football player. Hence, correct mark should be DIFFERENT!

➢ Pay attention to similar named songs.

Left Webpage Right Webpage


https://genius.com/Bryan-adams-heaven-lyrics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_(Niall_Horan_song)
Comment: At the first glance, Primary Entities may look similar but please be careful! Here, we have same named
song but they are DIFFERENT entities.

➢ How to evaluate songs’ cover versions/older or newer versions etc?

Left Webpage Right Webpage


https://mikemasse.com/let-it-be-beatles/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_It_Be_(Beatles_album)

Comment: By considering only page title, you may think Primary Entities are totally same! However this is a
significant mistake. Right page is written for the original song and left page is just a cover version. They should be
accepted as different entities, so correct mark should be DIFFERENT.

Left Webpage Right Webpage


https://genius.com/Guns-n-roses-knockin- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockin%27_on_Heaven%27s_Door
on-heavens-door-2022-remaster-lyrics

Comment: Left page is offering content for July 13, 1973. On the other side, we have a content titled as 2022
Remaster. Although they have the same lyrics, we should care about release dates and label them as DIFFERENT!

Left Webpage Right Webpage


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChaGPCkhfzg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Bobby

Comment: Release dates are good signs to differentiate contents. We see the same titles on both page but right
page has 2022 as release date and left content is uploaded to host on 2020. Hence, it is a good clue to accept Primary
Entities as DIFFERENT!
