Annotatio is software that enables users to annotate Web pages and XML files using an Annotea-compatible annotation system.
One of the most notable features of Annotatio is its ability to save enhanced information about the annotation's position within the document. This means that even if the location or structure of the original document changes, users can still easily find and refer to the relevant annotations. This is a departure from the current implementation of the W3C, which does not allow for this level of flexibility.
Annotatio has two modes: local and remote. In local mode, all annotations are saved locally on the user's computer. In remote mode, annotations are saved on a central, Annotea-compatible server like Annotatio Server. This allows for easy collaboration and sharing of annotations across multiple users.
To use Annotatio, users will need Ant to build the source. Once installed, they can start the client with the command "java -jar annotatio.jar." This will start a local server at port 8080, which can be connected to using a web server. The site at [url] provides users with JavaScriptlets that can be installed into the Bookmark-Bar of their browser. After that, they are ready to start using the software.
This latest release of Annotatio includes code cleanup, improved compatibility with XHTML documents, and the introduction of parameter trimming. Overall, the Annotatio software is an essential tool for anyone who needs to annotate web pages and XML files. Its flexibility, ease of use, and powerful features make it a must-have for anyone working in this field.
