This document summarizes the Pundit platform, which is a client-server, multi-user web annotation system. It uses open standards like RDF and Linked Data to semantically annotate web pages and other digital content. The platform includes tools for annotating, managing vocabularies, and visualizing and reusing annotations through APIs. Future plans include improving the interface, search capabilities, and integration with other applications.
