 FenPDF is the first concrete prototype of our architecture.
+It is a tool to make sense of academic literature.
 
+On the structure side, FenPDF uses four small RDF vocabularies:

 Unlike in most annotation-related projects (see, e.g.,

 Explicit support for taxonomical hypertext (`Parunak 1991`_)
 is currently being planned.
