WAT-SL

Web Annotation Tool for Segment Labeling.

Demo server

For a quick look into WAT-SL, please visit our demo server.

Usage

Download the wat.jar. Then unpack the <code>example-project.zip</code> and cd into the example project folder. Then use

java -jar <path-to>/wat.jar [<port> [<base-path>]]

to start the server on the given port (default port is 2112) and base-path (default base-path is "/"). You can then access documentation on how to adjust and use the server at

http://localhost:<port><base-path>/index.html

Building

mvn clean install assembly:single
mv wat-sl-*-jar-with-dependencies.jar wat.jar

There is a Dockerfile that runs the demo project. After building the wat.jar, you can create the Dockerfile like this:

cd docker
./build.sh

You can then start the demo-server like this:

docker run -p <port>:2112 -t wat

Or just use the version in our repository on docker hub like this:

docker run -d -p 2112:2112 --restart=unless-stopped -t webis/wat:2.0.0
