ABSTRACT
A typical user, when learning, annotates text, figures and other contents, so as to better highlight, memorize, and retrieve relevant information. A few annotation programs exist but either change the contents of the document, or do not support distance learning through the web. We report work-in-progress on a <u>u</u>ser-<u>c</u>entered <u>a</u>nnotation <u>t</u>ool (UCAT) which allows students to annotate, following their personal styles, (using different icons, colors and signed versions) any document belonging to authorware within a course. We have chosen Amaya as the working environment since, belonging to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), it complies with the semantic web specifications on document formats, like RDF. An example of the deployment of UCAT will be shown in the paper.
