The document outlines various collaborative efforts in the field of web annotation and digital publishing, detailing the involvement of individuals and organizations in developing standards and protocols. It discusses the challenges posed by dominant tech companies, issues of ownership and content diversity, and emphasizes the importance of decentralization and shared standards for creating effective annotation solutions. Additionally, it identifies several working groups and projects that are open for participation to enhance and innovate within the domain of web annotations.
Annotation and Community

- 2. Hi • aka BigBlueHat • Work for John Wiley & Sons, Inc. • Co-Editor of the W3C Web Annotation Data Model & Vocabulary • Co-Chair of the upcoming W3C JSON-LD Working Group • Contributor to the W3C Web Publishing Working Group • Core Committer at Apache Annotator
- 4. Standards • Open Annotation Community Group Open Annotation Data Model • Web Annotation Working Group Web Annotation Data Model Web Annotation Vocabulary Web Annotation Protocol Selectors and States Note Web Annotations in HTML Note • Digital Publishing Interest Group Digital Publishing Use Cases and Requirements • Web Publishing Working Group Web Annotation Extensions for Web Publication Web Publication (eventually) EPUB 4 (possibly) Packaged Web Publications
- 5. Standards • IIIF Uses Open Annotation for image…annotation • EPUB 3 Open Annotation for EPUB • Microsoft’s proposal for “annotations for ARIA” Maps Web Annotation to ARIA attributes continued
- 6. Source • Annotator.js • Hypothes.is • Randall Leed’s Libraries (official name) dom-anchor-* • Web Annotation WG Selectors and States code • Apache Annotator (in-progress) DOM-focused selector juggler (eventual) home of Randall Leed’s Libraries (future) Web Annotation Protocol Server (future) Web Annotation Validators
- 7. Software & Services • Hypothes.is Public service Partner installs • Wiley Information Model Open Annotation for editorial workflows • WorldBrain.io • WebMemex.org • dokie.li • Tell me about yours!
- 9. Struggles • The Frightful Five Few, increasingly powerful orgs have final say • Productized Self Who owns you / your content? • Fake news • Trolling • Lack of diversity In process In voice In visibility In conversation
- 10. Structural Solutions • Conway’s Law “organizations which design systems … are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.” • Centralization • Decentralization • Federation • Shared Standards • Shared Source • Shared Stability
- 11. Sample Structures • Web Annotation Working Group “closed”—which means we did it! • Open Annotation Community Group Open to anyone interested in annotation And future work on any related Web specs • Web Publishing Working Group “active”—join today! See me in the hallway. Open to any W3C Member organization • Apache Annotator Open to anyone interested in contributing to code or content about Web Annotations Current focus is DOM selection integration • The Hypothesis Project Talk to Jon, Heather, Dan, etc. available now!
- 12. Standards & Source Solutions • Hypothes.is • Apache Annotator • Verifiable Credentials Working Group • Credentials Community Group Decentralized Identifier Documents Self-sovereign Identities • ActivityStreams • ActivityPub Mastadon PeerTube
- 13. Summary • What about your own organization? • What structure best matches your desired software structure? • Plan for failure • Fail with purpose • Find friends • Contribute to the Creation of Collective Commentary Constructs!!
