Bookmarking with the Entity Describer

The browser button (bookmarklet) is the way to post a bookmark using the Entity Describer. A bookmarklet is a special kind of bookmark that can perform actions by executing code stored as the bookmarked URL.

Here are 2 bookmarklets that will allow you to use the advanced tagging features of the Entity Describer to add bookmarks to both the Connotea database and the ED database. They extend the Add2Connotea bookmarklets by making it possible to use freebase topics as tags. For more info about why this is such a great idea, see the about page, though the best way to learn is really to give it a try (its easy!).

Browser Support

  • ED2.0 has been tested successfully on Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer
  • Unfortunately, Opera is not supported at this time

Note to Users Upgrading from Firefox 1.x to Firefox 2.0

Firefox 2.0 offers different default security settings than Firefox 1.x. In Firefox 2.0, popup windows cannot be brought to the top of the window stack by Javascript unless you enable this feature. If you would like your ED2connotea bookmarklet window to be on top as it was before, please visit your Firefox options, Content tab, and click the Advanced button next to Enable Javascript, and ensure that "Raise or lower windows" is checked.
