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.

Use Tags to define access

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Defining access to or rights of a user, isn’t the easiest thing. Beside some minor problems two main problems (in my opinion) still need to be solved:

1) A user needs an easy to use interface to define his rights

2) A user needs to be informed adequate about the impact of the rights he is about to change.

A really nice solution for the problem domain of 1) can be found by Quasthoff ([1],[2],[3]) sowie Müller Prove [4] und Passant [5]

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.
