The Annotation Interface is the curator's interface to our Annotation Server. It is one way of administering the Annotation Server's data without the need of technical expertise by providing a comprehensible interface to fetch external data and curate annotations. Additional instructions are given within the interface.
Please note that the Annotation Interface is not currently deployed, meaning its only available by setting it up locally. See the Contribution Guide for information on how to set it up.
See our Contribution Guide to get started.
