What is Web Annotation?3
Traditional annotations are marginalia, errata, and highlights in printed books, maps, picture, and other physical media.
Web annotations are an attempt to recreate and extend that functionality as a new layer of interactivity and linking on top of the Web.
It will allow anyone to annotate anything anywhere, be it a web page, an
ebook
, a video, an image, an audio stream, or data in raw or visualized form.
Web annotations can be linked, shared between services, tracked back to their origins, searched and discovered, and stored wherever the author wishes; the vision is for a decentralized and open annotation
infrastructure

Conceptual Model

My Annotations are independent of your web page
But they are superimposed onto your web page - by my annotation system
You may or may not see this or even know it is there out on the web

Web Annotation: Politics & Utility #2Investigative Journalism and Bio-Science = same use case!
“
This is where annotations can become the message stream environment around source documents and data. There are other tech challenges such as data security during the research process and after publication, especially when involving larger groups of users with different tech capabilities. Both source documents and annotations need a secure infrastructure, given the sensitive aspect of the investigative process (sources and story need to be protected
).“

Problem: Using audio & video
Audio and video data are not
well supported
by
institutional research data management infrastructure or planning The
use of audio and video data is rapidly expanding across
all disciplines (not just
the Humanities and Arts)
Characteristics of the
media (compared to ‘traditional data’)
Large file sizes‘Lumpy’ data format
Time consuming to analyse
Hard
to share your
analysis

Solution: Virtual clipsCreate
‘virtual’ clips that can be shared as
URIs and annotated
using free text
(without altering or copying the original media files)
Respects the content owner’s rights and permissions policiesURIs support social media integration and
new forms of collaboration
Rich source of analytics – quantitative and qualitative
