NRL: The Natural Rule Language

Link: http://nrl.sourceforge.net/

Intro: The Natural Rule Language is a model-driven language aimed at improving quality and time to market in integration projects. It enables users to constrain, modify and map data in diverse formats. NRL works at a high level, and is designed for automatic translation to execution languages.

NRL's main remit is to provide a user-friendly alternative to languages like OCL, XSLT, XPath, Schematron, and many others, particularly in scenarios where they would be considered too technical.

WebAnnotator

WebAnnotator is a new tool for annotating Web pages implemented at LIMSI. Giving it a try will take you no more than 10 minutes.

WebAnnotator is implemented as a Firefox extension, allowing annotation of both offline and inline pages. The HTML rendering is fully preserved and all annotations consist in new HTML spans with specific styles. 

WebAnnotator provides an easy and general-purpose framework and is made available under CeCILL free license (close to GNU GPL), so that use and further contributions are made simple.

WebAnnotator can be downloaded on the official Mozilla web page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/webannotator/. 

A quick manual can be found here:
http://perso.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/en/WebAnnotator/

All parts of an HTML document can be annotated: text, images, videos, tables, menus, etc. The annotations are created by simply selecting a part of the document and clicking on the relevant type and subtypes. The annotated elements are then highlighted in a specific color. Annotation schemas can be defined by the user by creating a simple DTD representing the types and subtypes that must be highlighted. Finally, annotations can be saved (HTML with highlighted parts of documents) or exported (in a machine-readable format).

WebAnnotator will be presented at LREC conference in May 2012.
