Abstract
Annotation Technology is a systematized set of recommendations for design of successful advanced annotation software covering the architectural, functional and user-interface aspects. It is grounded in a careful examination of 17 existing systems accompanied by our own empirical study of annotation types, applications and desired functionality. To validate the recommendations of Annotation Technology, we have also developed Annotator, a system for making on-line annotations on arbitrary hypertext documents. Annotator offers some capabilities unavailable in existing systems. It has a proxy-based architecture for annotating documents over the web and sorting the comments in an annotation database.

A comparison of reading paper and on-line documents
576 Citations1997Kenton O’Hara, Abigail Sellen
A laboratory study that compares reading from paper to reading on-line finds critical differences that allow readers to deepen their understanding of the text, extract a sense of its structure, create a plan for writing, cross-refer to other documents, and interleave reading and writing.
Annotation
398 Citations1997Catherine C. Marshall
The practice of annotation in a particular situation is examined: the markings students make in university-level textbooks, and their status within a community of fellow textbook readers is examined.
Beyond paper
322 Citations1998Bill N. Schilit, Gene Golovchinsky +1 more
The XLibris “active reading machine” demonstrates that computers can help active readers organize and find information while retaining many of the advantages of reading on paper.
Toward an ecology of hypertext annotation
310 Citations1998Catherine Marshall
This paper first characterizes annotation according to a set of dimensions to situate a long-term study of a community of annotators and explores the implications of annotative practice for hypertext concepts and for the development of an ecology of hypertext annotation.
Multimedia SystemsVision texture for annotation
253 Citations1995Rosalind W. Picard, Thomas P. Minka
This paper demonstrates a new application of computer vision to digital libraries — the use of texture forotation, the description of content, and is equipped with the ability to choose the one that “best explains” the regions selected by the user for annotating.
Experiments on using semantic distances between words in image caption retrieval
188 Citations1996Alan F. Smeaton, Ian K. Quigley
The first successful application of semantically-based word-word similarities and polysemous words in captions to an information retrieval application, describing the indexing and retrieval of captions describing the content of images, is described.
The Distributed Link Service: A Tool for Publishers, Authors, and Readers
167 Citations1995Leslie Carr, David De Roure +2 more
A hypermedia link service that is based entirely on standard Web browsers and servers and is being used successfully in a spectrum of Web projects is described.
Hypertext paths and the World-Wide Web
134 Citations1997Richard Furuta, Frank Shipman +3 more
The Walden’s Paths implementation is described, the elements that affected its design and architecture are discussed, and the experiences with the system in use are reported on.

Toward active, extensible, networked documents
61 Citations1996Thomas A. Phelps, Robert Wilensky
A document management infrastructure built around a multivalent perspective can provide an extensible, networked system that supports incremental additions of content, incremental addition of interaction with the user and with other components, reuse of content across behaviors, reused of behaviors across types of documents, and eficient use of network bandwidth.
XLibris
56 Citations1998Morgan N. Price, Bill N. Schilit +1 more
The XLibris “Active Reading Machine” is built to explore the premise that computation can enhance the active reading process and demonstrates that computers can help active readers organize and find information while retaining many of the advantages of reading on paper.
Computer Networks and ISDN SystemsA protocol for scalable group and public annotations
41 Citations1995Daniel LaLiberte, Alan C. Braverman
The primary concern addressed in this paper is how to ensure that the feature is scalable, and it is argued that the solution is no less scalable than the Web itself.
Multimedia Tools and ApplicationsAn Annotation Engine for Supporting Video Database Population
35 Citations1997Marco Carrer, Leonardo Ligresti +2 more
The design and development of a video annotation engine, called Vane, intended to solve the problem of annotation of raw video data as a domain-independent video annotation application is described.

International Journal of Man-Machine StudiesDocument annotation: to write, type or speak?
6 Citations1993Philip Tucker, Dylan M. Jones
Voice recording may be a more acceptable medium for annotating documents that are presented on VDUs, as it overcomes many of the problems associated with the typed annotation of electronic documents.
Multimedia Tools and ApplicationsBrahma: Browsing and Retrieval Architecture for Hierarchical Multimedia Annotation
6 Citations1998Asit Dan, Dinkar Sitaram +1 more
BRAHMA is a multimedia environment for browsing and retrieval of multimedia documents based on hierarchical annotation structures that can be manipulated dynamically by different users to alter views on a document.
Active annotations of web pages
4 Citations1997Jakob Hummes
A model of Web page annotations is introduced that defines relations between the users, the Web pages and their annotations and is taken together with technological restrictions of existing approaches to form a taxonomy and an overview of the state of the art.
