A plugin to Annotorious which adds Semantic Tagging functionality: while typing the annotation, text is sent to the server for Named Entity Recognition. Recognized entities are suggested as possible tags, and the user can add them to the annotation by clicking on them (see screenshot). Tags are Semantic Tags in the sense that they are not only strings, but (underneath the hood) include a link to their corresponding DBpedia entry.
A live demo of the plugin is available here. Beware: beta!!
The client library relies on jQuery
There are several TODOs in the code. Get in touch if you want to contribute!
TODO @behas: add server side Python NER/DBpedia linking scripts
