VerZi Meeting in Bremen

 
The partners of the VerZi project (University of Bremen, Acaris, Vit and University of Gießen) met in Bremen at the beginning of February. A very productive discussion about the progress of the project took place. In particular, ways to improve the annotation system were identified, the user interface of the web-tool was revealed for the first time, and directions for making significant scientific impacts were agreed on.
