If you downloaded version 1.7.1 you may have noticed a most heinous bug that was introduced into this version that makes it impossible to begin a new annotation project.

I would also like to know if you think you might use Knowtator for an annotation project - or if there are specific things that you find lacking in this tool. I realize that this tool is missing a lot of bells and whistles that will make executing a real text annotation project possible and easy. I thought I would take a moment to describe where Knowtator is going. ... read more

Knowtator is not running smoothly on the 3.1 version of Protege. I am presently looking into the cause of this and will post an updated version recommendation when available on the install page. Please see the installation instructions on the Knowtator webpage for current version recommendations. Thanks!
