Metatribble

Metatribble enables you to create semantic annotations for the people, places and events on web pages, and perform additional actions on those annotations.

Metatribble is a command for the Firefox plugin Ubiquity. To use it:

• Make sure you're using Firefox 3.
• Install the Ubiquity plugin and restart your browser.
• Subscribe to the Metatribble command using the subscribe button at the top of the page.
• Request an OpenCalais API key.
• Activate Ubiquity (typically with Alt-Enter) and run the open-calais-key command, providing your OpenCalais API key

Once Metatribble is installed, it's activated as the metatribble command within Ubiquity.

• Select the text to be marked up (at the moment, a few paragraphs is better than a whole page)
• Activate Ubiquity, and run the metatribble command.
• The page content will be marked up with semantic annotations.
