LEAF-Writer and LINCS​

LEAF-Writer supports the editing of XML documents and lets you look up and assign identifiers to named entities (persons, organizations, places, or titles) from a range of authorities.

LEAF-Writer is used to edit and annotate XML documents that are stored either locally or in remote storage, such as the LEAF Islandora 2.0 repository, GitHub, or GitLab. Annotations created with LEAF-Writer can be stored in the annotation database via LINCS-API annotation containers and pushed to the LINCS triplestore.
