*Annotation – Practices and Tools ina Digital Environment
<http://www.niso.org/events/2018/01/annotation-practices-and-tools-digital-environment>*

*Wednesday, January 10, 1:00pm – 2:30pm*



Annotation tools can be of tremendous value to students and to scholars.
Such support for collaboration can add tremendous value to the information
that’s being accessed by those user populations. What is the current state
of the art? This event will bring together input from content and platform
providers as well as those who are actively seeking to use those tools,
whether in the library or the classroom.

What will these speakers address?



*Kent Anderson*, CEO, Redlink

Annotation is a maturing technology with many manifestations. Remarq has
taken a unique and ambitious approach by baking annotations into a
comprehensive engagement platform that is easy to implement and administer.
This presentation will provide an overview of how Remarq has knitted
annotations into its sophisticated commenting, highlighting, note-taking,
and collaboration environment, with an emphasis on how Remarq supports the
roles and use-cases needed to generate reader, editor, and author
engagement. The presentation will also review the results of initial pilots
across 60 journals, showing how this approach improves many of the key
variables editors, authors, and publishers care about. Finally, the
presentation will touch on how Remarq has expanded to support students,
teachers, and educational goals by integrating its features into a fully
portable and integrated solution.



*Heather Staines*, Director of Partnerships, Hypothesis

Annotate any document (HTML, PDF, EPUB) across the web with non-profit open
source annotation technology. Make private, public, or
private-collaboration-group annotations that will appear on content hosted
across multiple platforms, including PubMed Central and aggregator sites.
Hypothesis is useful across the entire research life cycle: manuscript
creation, submission, peer review, post-publication updates and
discussions, education, entity linking, and collaboration. Create unique
persistent web addresses for any entity. Search and explore public
annotations made by others. Hypothesis annotators have made more than 2.3M
annotations. Publishers can embed Hypothesis for free to increase
visibility of annotations on their content. Work with us to create multiple
branded and moderated layers across your content with granular permissions
for who can read and who can create annotations.



*Robert Sanderson*, Semantic Architect, J. Paul Getty Trust

Annotating, the act of creating associations between distinct pieces of
information, is a pervasive activity online in many guises. Web citizens
make comments about online resources using either tools built in to the
hosting website, external web services, or the functionality of an
annotation client. Comments about shared photos or videos, reviews of
products, or even social network mentions of web resources could all be
considered as annotations. In addition, there are a plethora of "sticky
note" systems and stand-alone multimedia annotation systems. The Web
Annotation Data Model provides an extensible, interoperable framework for
expressing annotations such that they can easily be shared between
platforms, with sufficient richness of expression to satisfy complex
requirements while remaining simple enough to also allow for the most
common use cases, such as attaching a piece of text to a single web
resource. This presentation will cover an overview of the standard,
including its history and adoption, plus a high level walk through of the
model itself.
