Semantic Authoring By Tagging with Annotea Social Bookmarks and Topics
Proc. of the 1st Semantic Authoring and Annotation Workshop (SAAW2006), (2006)Abstract
Annotea is a framework that supports Semantic Web based
collaboration and authoring via Annotea objects, such as social
annotations, bookmarks, and topics. Social bookmarks and
topics can be used for semantic authoring in many levels. They
let ordinary users tag interesting Web documents with their own
personal concepts (folksonomies). These concepts can be simple
or form hierarchies, and they can be linked to more standard
concepts when users become aware of them. Collections of the
concepts and the bookmarks under them can be stored to
bookmark documents or services as metadata and easily shared
with other users. Annotea users can also literally semantically
author pages with link collections and categories. They can use
the title and description information of the topics and
bookmarks to create the page content. This content from the
bookmark and topics hierarchies is then easily converted to
XHTML Web pages by using XSLT scripts. Annotea
presentation objects further support authoring and customized
presentations by separating the presentation and the application
data. While Annotea precedes tagging and social bookmarking
services and tools popular today it still provides better
flexibility, extendibility, and reuse of the bookmark and topic
data with help of the Semantic Web technologies.
