Abstract
We present the Saar Web ANnotation system
(SWAN), a lean web-based annotation
system, which is optimized for annotator
and project management usability.1
SWAN is well-suited for various discourse
annotation tasks, as arbitrarily large documents
can be annotated seamlessly due to
dynamic loading and rendering. A graphbased
visualization box supports the user
by providing both an overview of the existing
annotations and a navigation option
through the text. The admin view includes
the web-based configuration of projects,
annotation schemes and users. SWAN is
based on JEE technology and compatible
with several web browsers.
