Web annotation (original) (raw)

Web annotation refers to 1. * online annotations of web resources such as web pages or parts of them, and 2. * a set of W3C standards developed for this purpose. Note that the term web annotation can also be understood in the sense of doing annotations on the web and it has been used in this sense for the annotation tool WebAnno, now INCEpTION. However, this is a general feature of many modern tools for annotation in natural language processing or in the philologies and not discussed here. For Web-based text annotation systems, see Text annotation.
