Abstract

The realization of the Semantic Web requires the widespread availability of semantic annotations for existing and new documents on the Web. Semantic annotations are to tag ontology class instance data and map it into ontology classes. The fully automatic creation of semantic annotations is an unsolved problem. Instead, current systems focus on the semi-automatic creation of annotations. The Semantic Web also requires facilities for the storage of annotations and ontologies, user interfaces, access APIs, and other features to fully support annotation usage. This paper examines current Semantic Web annotation platforms that provide annotation and related services, and reviews their architecture, approaches and performance.
