iAnnotate Tab

iAnnotate Tab is an OWL based Protege plugin for manually annotating text or Web documents with ontology concepts. A user can select a fragment of text and create instances for a given concept.

Important features of the iAnnotate Tab

• Save the annotated document in XML with 'class' tags enclosing the annotated text.
• Web-browser to navigate hyperlinked documents. It stores and displays prior annotations for a given URL.
• Open/Save an incomplete annotation document (as iAnnotate Model).
• Add 'textual' documentation for a concept (rdfs:Comment).

Some sample applications of the Tab

• NLP, Information Extraction: Developing semantically annotated corpus (e.g. annotation of biological pathways (BioPax), phenotypes (PATO) etc from biomedical literature and biodatabases)
• Semantic Web: Creating Semantic Web metadata for Web documents (e.g. creating FOAF profiles from homepages, Semantic Web Service definitions)
