Overview
The authors discuss the design rationale for COMARKUS and IMMARKUS, browser-based annotation services enabling creation of complex semantic text- and image annotations, in the form of both individual entities or tags with properties and clusters of entities. They explain challenges encountered with existing platforms while researching Chinese material infrastructure history, then demonstrate how their tools facilitate event-based annotation, semantic modeling, data traceability, and metadata integration for humanities research.
