Dear Oliver, this is amazing, thank you! I've pointed out similar projects before (like http://okfnlabs.org/projects/annotator/index.html ), but having the annotations as SMW properties is great and pushes SMW to a brand new use case scenario.
Please, everyone, hop on and help Oliver make this stable :-) regards, Bernhard ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ----- > > > Hello everyone! > > > I want to introduce the 'Semantic Text Annotator' extension. > The Semantic Text Annotator (STA) allows you to annotate any text passage > with semantic properties. > > > Use case example > Let’s say your wiki’s article about Apple Inc. contains the sentence: (...) > At the Macworld Conference & Expo in January 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the > long-anticipated iPhone, (...) > > > With SMW you can only make statements (in form of subject-predicate-object > expressions) in which the article’s name is the subject, e.g. "Apple – > hasFounder – Steve Jobs", by editing the articles text: [[hasFounder::Steve > Jobs]]. > > > With STA you can make statements about every text passage, e.g. statements > about the sentence above: > [sentence] – date – 2007 > [sentence] – category – events in IT history > > > You create such annotations by marking text with the cursor and entering > values for the semantic properties in a form that pops up.
