The annotation is essentially the association of some metadata with some other object, called target data.  The target data can be everything, starting with a table in a database, a file or document, or virtually any type of information. The annotation also has a wide range of meanings, so that it can be either a link to another table in a database or another database, a comment for a document, or the classical sticky note that is put on the fridge's door. The annotations a very important when working with great amount of data, the scientists and the

Annotation is the process of associating metadata with data. This article presents a Web services API intended as an industry standard for client-server systems designed to facilitate the structured annotation of heterogeneous data. The author presents the goals of the Annotation Web services API and then discusses how those goals motivate the data model around which the API operates. The author also discusses 29 methods that comprise the API including two examples of possible sequences of API calls to create and retrieve annotations. The Annotation

The Flex databinding system is a relatively simple yet powerful mechansim for moving data throughout your application. However, there are times when binding will appear not work, and I'd like to give some suggestions on tracking that down. 1. Don't ignore warnings! It's easy to see a warning and think that it doesn't matter, especially if binding appears to work at startup. Warnings actually mean something! If the warning is about a missing [ChangeEvent] on a getter/setter it means that even if the binding works at startup, subsequent changes to the

Introduction This specification defines the XML Linking Language (XLink), which allows elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe Link between resources. XLink provides a framework for creating both basic unidirectional links and more complex linking structures. It allows XML documents to: * Assert linking relationships among more than two resources * Associate metadata with a link * Express links that reside in a location separate from the linked resources An important application of XLink is in

Description XLink defines how to insert links in XML documents. It specifies a framework making it possible for XML applications to recognize XML elements as having link semantics. In addition to the simple, two-ended, unidirectional links which are well-known from HTML, XLink allows more general links, which must not be embedded in the document, can have any number of ends, and can be multidirectional. XLink is the XML Linking Language. It allows elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between
