What CWRC-Writer can do for you

CWRC-Writer is a WYSIWYG text editor for in-browser XML editing and stand-off RDF annotation.

CWRC-Writer provides:

  • schema-aware document editing, including validation, against web-accessible schemas
  • support for cascading stylesheets (CSS) to provide a WYSIWYG view of documents, as well as a view showing tags
  • ability to look up and select identifiers for named entity tags (persons, organization, places, or titles) from a range of Linked Open Data authorities
  • generation (if desired) of Linked Data annotations corresponding to tags for named entities and document
  • annotations (notes, citations, corrections, links) in XML-RDF or JSON-LD conforming to the Web Annotation Data Model, for both pre-existing and newly added tags
  • ability to detect candidate named entities (persons, places, or organizations) within a document for tagging and/or Web Annotation, to evaluate and refine those suggestions, and to associate the entities with LOD identifiers

You can use CWRC-Writer to edit XML documents or produce new documents from templates.
