What is Caboto?

Basically, its an RDF-based web annotations system.

Three JISC-funded projects have a requirement to allow people to annotate events and other things. The projects are:

• Collaborative Research on the Web (CREW) - University of Bristol and University of Manchester
• Semantic Tools for Screen Arts Research (STARS) - University of Bristol
• Integration Project (CIP) - University of Bristol

The Caboto project was setup to create a collaborative effort to fulfill the requirements of CREW, STARS and CIP.

The requirements from the JISC projects:

• CREW Events Requirements
• CIP Requirements
• STARS Requirements

The project is in the early stages but its is possible to obtain and run the project:

• Compile and Running Caboto
• The RESTFul API
