Emotion is an important field of study shared by many disciplines such as psychology, language and computer science. Most studies in emotion require the collection and annotation of data, but many issues arise from this process. This research focused on the following issues: collecting data from multiple sources, providing flexibility in emotion labels for annotation, providing additional contextual information during annotation, and annotating non-observable emotion-related data. The Observatory software is introduced as a solution that addresses these issues. Using this single software, researchers can record, annotate and review emotion-related data. © 2011 IEEE.
