Hi all,
I'd like to share a little tool with you that has been created at a
recent hackathon. Not my work but a nice idea that might inspire others:
"AnnoT" is a manual text annotation tool where you can, while typing
text into an HTML form, select Wikidata items for some of the words. You
then get (stable) hyperlinks to Wikipedia and some extra data displayed
elsewhere on the page while you hover. This has been created by a team
of PhD researchers and students (though, admittedly, rather skilled ones
[1]) in essentially one afternoon. It's got some rough edges, but it
still shows a nice use of the APIs.
* Demo of the prototype: http://ewakowalczuk.github.io/annot/
Type text, use the TAB key for starting autocompletion on words that
would have a Wikidata item. It works better for me in Chrome than in
Firefox, though I remember them testing it on both.
* Documentation and code: https://github.com/EwaKowalczuk/annot
This was done two weeks ago, at the Web Intelligence Summer School on
"Web of Data" [2], where I had the pleasure to talk a bit about Wikidata.
Cheers,
Markus
