The Annotation Back End (ABE) service provides a generic annotation framework that offers application-to-application functionalities for the management of Diligent annotations. The service mediates between interactive annotation front-ends (like annotation portlets) and lower-level data management services (primarily Metadata Catalog services). Functionalities that rely on course-grained data exchange, that can be conveniently shared across clients, are provided through a number of coordinated web services. Functionalities which rely instead on fine-grained data exchange, typically in real time through user interactions, are offered through a client-sided library.
