[annotator-dev] validate annotation before store it

[Michael Scharf]

Hi Riccardo,

checking annotations in the client my be a good idea. But ultimately, it should
be checked on the server. Because normally you have no control on what is sent
via the API and only the server site you can make sure the data inserted is
consistent.

This is actually an interesting case where using different languages in the
client and in the server makes things more difficult. If the server is node.js
based, you can do a validity check in the client and do the same check
on the server...
