Alignment API: Declared annotation labels
The Alignment API provides the opportunity for applications to
attach additional information to the alignments and the
correspondences (Cell). This extension mechanism is also used
internally by the API for testing new techniques. We try to do our
best for honouring these extensions: they are rendered and parsed in
RDF/XML, they are stored in the Alignment Server database.
In order to avoid conflicting use of the extension labels, it is
strongly advised to package them in a particular XML namespace and
to register them by us. Here is the list of currently known
extension labels.
