Annozilla is a Firefox extension that enables users to create annotations linked to web pages.
The Annozilla project is a powerful tool designed to create and view annotations connected with a web page, based on the W3C Annotea project. With this tool, annotations are stored as RDF on a server using XPointer, or similar constructs, to identify the specific location of the annotated region of the document.
To manipulate annotation data, Annozilla relies on Mozilla's native capabilities. For example, it uses Mozilla's built-in RDF handling to parse the annotations, and nsIXmlHttpRequest for submitting data when creating annotations.
The Annozilla software comprises three extensions: xpointerlib, a library that allows the user to make use of XPointers; the annotations service, which provides access to existing annotations, and Annozilla, the client software itself.
To use Annozilla, a user needs to install the required packages and set up an account with an annotation server - such as the W3C test server. Once this is completed, they can begin using the software to create and view annotations as needed.
In terms of requirements, Annozilla works with Firefox 1.0 to 2.0.0.*. Overall, the Annozilla project is an excellent solution for creating, sharing, and managing annotations on web pages.
