Domeo Overview

Domeo is an extensible web application enabling users to visually and efficiently create and share ontology-based stand-off annotation on HTML or XML document targets. The tool supports manual, fully automated, and semi-automated annotation with complete provenance records, as well as personal or community annotation with access authorization and control.

Domeo and Annotation Ontology

Domeo promotes annotation sharing through the Annotation Ontology (AO) RDF model. AO is an OWL ontology providing a model for creating ‘stand-off’ annotation anchored to online resources such as documents, images and databases and their fragments. AO provides a robust set of methods for linking online resources, for example text in scientific publications, to ontological elements, with full representation of the annotation provenance. Through AO, existing domain ontologies and vocabularies – in OWL or SKOS - can be utilized, out of the box, for creating extremely rich stores of metadata on web resources. In the bio-medical field, subjects for ontological structuring include biological processes, molecular functions, anatomical and cellular structures, tissue and cell types, chemical compounds, and biological entities such as genes and proteins. However, AO is not limited to the bio-medical domain and can be easily used in other scientific and non-scientific contexts.

Elsevier Labs, Researcher Disruptive Technologies

"Domeo is a unique and powerful toolkit, which combines automated semantic annotation and manual curation of scientific content, and allows these annotations to be shared with the community in a Linked Data environment. We believe the Domeo team is really blazing the way for the future of science communications with this invaluable tool, and Elsevier Laboratories has been an enthusiastic supporter - and sponsor - of the Domeo team in their work.".
