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.
