presenting some GWT magic

Rainer's recent papers give all the background on a map annotation tool we have implemented using GWT as frontend technology.

• Collaborative Map Annotation in the Context of Historical GIS presented at eScience 2009

• Explorative User Interfaces for Browsing Historical Maps on the Web presented at the Cartographic Heritage Workshop 2010

Here are some interesting blog posts: http://aboutgeo.no5.at/?p=19 and http://aboutgeo.no5.at/?p=25.

The tools have been implemented on top of our image annotation tool as part of the:
LEMO annotation framework, published in the International Journal of Digital Libraries.

Finally, here is the link to the tool in case you like to play around with it: Image Annotation Toolset

Feedback is highly appreciated.
