[MOBY-l] [MOBY-dev] Apologies, a hint for MIPS-Service substitutions, and an invitation

[Edward Kawas]

I like the dashboard panel idea a lot. Seems like the best place to keep
that information. Nice thinking Andreas!

At the moment we're not entirely sure where to put it.  I am loathe to put  
it in Moby Central as we don't yet know what the quality of the annotation  
will be (though I guess Moby Central isnt' curated either, so... it  
probably wouldn't hurt).  Moreover, the Moby Central API isn't able to  
query at the level of detail that we will be capturing these annotations,  
so there's no compelling reason to put it there.  For now, we're putting  
it in a local RDF store, but we may eventually move it into Freebase  
(http://www.freebase.com/) to enable direct queries there.  we'll see how  
it goes.

Certainly I think we need a dashboard panel that contains the annotation  
interface (called "ED" - the Entity Describer http://entitydescriber.org;  
written  by our very own Eddie Kawas :-) ).  ED is currently a bit too  
tightly linked to Connotea, but we're in the process of ripping it out and  
making it more standalone for this Jamboree.

Eddie, what do you think of a dashboard ED panel?
