We present the Saar Web ANnotation system (SWAN), a lean web-based annotation system, which is optimized for annotator and project management usability.1 SWAN is well-suited for various discourse annotation tasks, as arbitrarily large documents can be annotated seamlessly due to dynamic loading and rendering.A graphbased visualization box supports the user by providing both an overview of the existing annotations and a navigation option through the text.The admin view includes the web-based configuration of projects, annotation schemes and users.SWAN is based on JEE technology and compatible with several web browsers.
