NIF Webinar – March 15, 2011 / Topic: The SWAN Annotation Tool and Annotation Ontology

The Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) hosts Webinar series on topics focused on collaborating with NIF, getting involved in building the NIF vocabulary, using NIF portal resources, as well as other appropriate NIF topics.

Hello everyone,

The next NIF Webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Please join Dr. Paolo Ciccarese from Harvard University as he describes the SWAN Annotation Tool and Annotation Ontology. The SWAN Annotation Tool is a web application for producing annotation of online documents and document fragments. The tool allows to define personal annotation, public annotation and annotation that can be accessed only by a selected group of users. The SWAN Annotation Tool is developed in parallel with the Annotation Ontology (AO) an OWL vocabulary for representing and sharing annotation. AO is designed to extensively reuse existing domain ontologies (entities annotations or semantic tags) and to provide several other kind of annotations - comments, textual annotation (classic tags), notes, examples, erratum... - on potentially any kind of resource (text, images, audio, databases...) and resource fragment.
