This is the the Annozilla project, designed to view and create annotations associated with a web page, as defined by the W3C Annotea project. The idea is to store annotations as RDF on a server, using XPointer (or at least XPointer-like constructs) to identify the region of the document being annotated.
The intention of Annozilla is to use Mozilla's native facilities to manipulate annotation data - its built-in RDF handling to parse the annotations, and nsIXmlHttpRequest to submit data when creating annotations.
The Annozilla software consists of three extensions:
· xpointerlib A library to allow the use of XPointers
· the annotations service A service allowing access to annotations
· Annozilla The Annozilla client itself
To use Annozilla, you will need to install the packages, get set up with a user account with an annotation server (e.g., the W3C test server), and then you should be ready to go.
Requirements:
· Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.*
