XStandoff 2 Examples

Instruction manual

A quite trivial example showing the annotation of both the textual and visual representation of a part of a camera.

We split up this multimodal document into two primary data instances, one containing the textual and one containing the visual representation. Both can be seen below:

Use the mode dial to select the 'A' or 'P' mode
Press the shutter half-way down, to focus and to release the built-in flash
Alternatively, use an external flash connected to the hotshoe
Press the shutter full-way down to take the picture

This can be annotated with a very basic markup language:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manual xmlns="http://www.xstandoff.net/example/manual"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xstandoff.net/example/manual ../xsd/manual.xsd">
  <step n="1">Use the <part name="mode_dial">mode dial</part> to select the 'A' or 'P' mode</step>
  <step n="2">Press the <part name="shutter">shutter</part> half-way down, to focus and to release the <part name="flash">built-in flash</part></step>
  <step n="2a">Alternatively, use an external flash connected to the <part name="hotshoe">hotshoe</part></step>
  <step n="3">Press the <part name="shutter">shutter</part> full-way down to take the picture</step>
</manual>

To annotate the graphical part one could use a coordinate system in conjunction with some basic shapes. Up to now, there is no specialized annotation tool that produces XStandoff output.

The XStandoff instance

[XML]

The resulting XStandoff instance contains both annotation layers under a single level, since they correspond to the same schema.
