Pundit 2.0 is a new version of a semantic annotation tool that allows users to annotate web pages and text. Annotations create semantic triples that link a subject, object, and predicate. The tool is still in beta with some known issues. The document provides instructions on installing the Pundit Chrome extension, registering an account, creating and editing annotations, and relating text fragments to each other through annotations.

4. 1. WHAT ARE
SEMANTIC
ANNOTATIONS?

5. Annotations can be simply seen as “attaching data to
some other piece of data”, e.g. documents, web pages,
parts of text of web pages; the advantage of a semantic
annotation is to have this data formally defined and
machine-understandable. This offers better possibility
for search, reuse and exploitations of the annotations
performed by users.
SEMANTIC ANNOTATION

6. ‣ Simply speaking it consists of a triple with:
‣ A. the information that is annotated (subject);
‣ B. the content of the annotation itself (object);
‣ C. a predicate, that establishes a relationship amongst the two
points above (predicate);
‣ We also have the context in which the annotation has been made
(who made it, when, with which instrument, etc). (metadata)
‣ This holds true for all kinds of annotation, including handwritten
notes beside paper documents.
