Last summer, I worked a lot on building the Semantic Annotator for DataONE, and this summer, I was granted the opportunity to continue to improve upon it.

This year, I am working alongside Yue Robin Liu, one of my labmates – he is focusing on ontology management, while I will be focusing on user and session management. This week was some prep work, determining what a basic schedule should look like for work over the summer.<\/p>\n
I got some information from Ben Leinfelder <\/span>and Matt Jones about the user management system already in place at DataONE, and I have been reviewing that documentation so that we can look at linking in the Annotator to that system as well. I also started looking at some JavaScript libraries for state and session persistence of the Annotator webapp – right now, if a user refreshes the page while in the middle of annotating a dataset, the page reloads back to the start state, blowing away all the user’s work.
