The Annozilla project, designed to view and create annotations associated with a web page, as defined by the W3C Annotea project. The idea is to store annotations as RDF on a server, using XPointer (or at least XPointer-like constructs) to identify the region of the document being annotated. The intention of Annozilla is to use Mozilla’s native facilities to manipulate annotation data – its built-in RDF handling to parse the annotations, and nsIXmlHttpRequest to submit data when creating annotations.
