Warum wird Annotiert?

“If we can identify the functions of extreme user motivation “(ideal” Categorizers and Describers), and position real user motivation between those extremes, we might be able to come up with scores indicative of user motivation in tagging systems – e.g. a user might be 80% Categorizer, and 20% Describer. Having such a model could help exploring the implications of different user motivations outlined above. ”

Interessanterweise kommen bei meinen Ergebnissen heraus, dass die Benutzer besonders beim Anlegen auf “einfache” Methoden zum Annotieren setzten, die kurze Beschreibungen ermöglichen. Beim Abrufen von Annotationen (wenn der original Text gelesen wird) werden einfach Text Kommentare als Annotation bevorzugt. Einzig und alleine für die Suche könnten genauere Kategorien sinnvoll sein.

Annotations by Google

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Google released their new tool, that allows to annotate content on Webpages. [1] Users can contribute annotations to all Webpages. Annotations can be published, and linked (http://www.google.com/sidewiki/entry/113597143741382940941/id/oEZJa_Sto6sxBfbw1qD-yJ4eTCI) . The full potential of the protocl can be found at http://code.google.com/intl/de/apis/sidewiki/docs/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html .

Google returns Annotations as Feeds in an atom format. A sample request for all annotations on my webpage (http://www.google.com/sidewiki/feeds/entries/webpage/http%3A%2F%2Fnm.wu.ac.at%2Fnm%2Fwirl/full)

What kind of information can be stored using Annotea? see Annotea Protocol description at: http://www.w3.org/2001/Annotea/User/Protocol

What kind of schema should I use for MultiMedia?: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/XGR-vocabularies/ and for images? http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/XGR-image-annotation/

Jane Hunter provided a bunch of good stuff: take a look at http://pubs.or08.ecs.soton.ac.uk/4/2/Hunter_slides.pdf or http://pubs.or08.ecs.soton.ac.uk/4/1/submission_22.pdf

Co-Annotea

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Made some first experiments with Co-Annotea on my WinXP Machine. I experienced some problems annotating a page (the open button didn’t work) so I had to load the page using the open – Menue. Whenever I tried to create an annotation the software (version 1.02515.24021) crashed. Hope to report better results soon.
