Annotation Serializations + Web service validation

Hi all,
sorry to come late to the discussion and also for not reading all the 
emails.



- One of the biggest problems of NIF was actually not the adoption, but 
the fact that the existing 40 implementation all interpreted the spec a 
little bit different.
In order to improve this fact, we recently developed a generic validator 
for data, which allows test-driven data (and web service development).
Please find the recently WWW paper here: 
http://svn.aksw.org/papers/2014/WWW_Databugger/public.pdf (Please keep 
Dimitris in CC).
We are using it for the area of Linguistics: 
http://svn.aksw.org/papers/2014/ESWC_NLP_Cleansing/public.pdf



- As a result of the standardization of the Internationalization Tagset 
2.0, it was concluded that: RDFa was completely unsuitable for 
annotation, mostly because you loose most of the information "what" is 
the exact target of an annotation (i.e. parsing results in 
de-contextualised triples).
We wrote a bit about this here on page 9 [1]

Note the elegant format to embed annotations in RDF
***Disclaimer:
this does  not cover full OA, but the 20 data categories cover a lot of 
use cases and tool support is widely given in the language technology 
world.

- Personally, I like the new IRI-enabled N-Triples format: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/, which is compatible with Turtle in 
HTML: http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/#in-html
(Line based formats are very robust)



All the best,
Sebastian
