Semantic CorA Extensions
Semantic Image Annotator
Motivation
As described in About Semantic CorA the annotation (in the social sciences also refered to as "coding") of documents is a central step in the research process. In our case, the lexica pages which have to be analyzed were in an image format and because of its gothic type not avaiable in plain text. To solve this problem the Semantic Image Annotator was developed which allows to select and annotate retangular areas on images.
Features
A button "Annotate this image" will appear above images on their File: page. Clicking this button will start the "annotation mode". You are then able to draw rectangular annotations on the image. Clicking once will start the shaping mode, in which you can move your mouse to create any rectangular shape. Clicking again stops the shaping mode and you can decide to accept or discard the rectangle that you have created. If you are happy with the annotation shape and click OK, a Semantic Forms popup window with the form that you have created will appear. In this window, you can specify the details of your annotation.
