To create annotations users need a Google account, being able to annotate the whole Web page or portions of it.

The current version of Google sidewiki allow users:

• To keep track of the comments they have already read.
• To value other’s annotations as useful or not.
• To share annotations via link, email, Twitter and Facebook.
• To access all the annotations created by any user.

Once installed from http://www.google.com/sidewiki/intl/en/index.html, you can visit http://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/prevention.htm to see Google sidewiki in action.

Basically:

SMW+ is ontoprise’s enterprise semantic wiki that makes it easy for your team to cope with knowledge-intensive processes and to exploit the knowledge locked in content.

SMW+ combines a wiki’s social authoring approach with proven semantic technology.

This yields a powerful tool which is business-ready for your organization to:

• Create and share semantically tagged project documentation,
• Create and publish user manuals and training materials which are enriched with semantic annotations for precise retrieval, or
• Check semantically tagged content for consistency.

Todays’ webinar is titled: “Basic semantic features of SMW+”.
