If you're interested in annotation, you may also enjoy these standards/communities, which aren't referenced in the article: - Open Annotation Data Model[1] - Web Annotation Vocabulary[2]: I built a thing to convert kindle highlights/notes into web annotation vocabulary jsonld[3] - Web Annotation Protocol[4] Great to see https://hypothes.is https://hypothes.is mentioned. Great people on that team, and a great example of a dedicated tech nonprofit. Just this week I have been fulfilling our first customer order to provide hosting for hypothesis annotation server on permanent.cloud[5]. One area of needed development, however, is being able to use the browser extension[6], which is great, with your own installation and not just the main https:/hypothes.is domain. I'll probably contribute that sooner or later, or else continue work on this other simpler browser extension I started[7] Lastly, there are some interesting tricky CS/NLP problems of 'annotating everything', e.g. how to render annotations on the right 'target' of what was annotated, especially if that target has changed a little bit, e.g. fixing a typo or something, which is common in web publishing / news. In 2014 I worked for a company that made an annotation-as-a-service product, and I wrote a bit about how Locality-sensitive Hashing can be applied[8] [1]: http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/ http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/ [2]: https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-vocab/ https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-vocab/ [3]: https://github.com/gobengo/kindle-web-annotations https://github.com/gobengo/kindle-web-annotations [4]: https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-protocol/ https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-protocol/ [5]: https://permanent.cloud/apps/hypothesis https://permanent.cloud/apps/hypothesis [5]: https://github.com/hypothesis/browser-extension https://github.com/hypothesis/browser-extension [6]: https://github.com/gobengo/kindle-web-annotations https://github.com/gobengo/kindle-web-annotations [7]: https://github.com/gobengo/web-annotation-extension https://github.com/gobengo/web-annotation-extension [8]: https://gobengo.tumblr.com/day/2014/04/22 https://gobengo.tumblr.com/day/2014/04/22

Are there any active projects building around Web Annotation? It seemed interesting, but when it was released it also seemed like a lot of talk with not even experimental implementations (to the point where it seemed not enough to actually be released as a standard). Hypothesis was loudly praising it, all the while keeping their product on their own protocols.
