Fwd: Three documents by Web Annotation Working Group are W3C Proposed Recommendations (Call for Review)

For many of you, or for your respective organizations, the annotation WG's output may be of a real interest. The WG has passed a major milestone, and there is now a vote out there to approve the proposal. If that last administrative step goes well, then the Recommendation will be published towards the end of February.

Please, if you are by a member organization, contact your AC rep on this. I have taken the liberty to cc this mail directly to some of us who, I believe, are in a member organization and who may be particularly interested in this technology; I may have missed some (in which case, sorry…)

Thanks!

Ivan

> Web Annotation Data Model
> W3C Proposed Recommendation 17 January 2017
> ----------------------------------------------
> This version:
>  https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/PR-annotation-model-20170117/ <https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/PR-annotation-model-20170117/>
> Latest published version:
>  https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/ <https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/>
> 
> Abstract:
> Annotations are typically used to convey information about a resource or associations between resources. Simple examples include a comment or tag on a single web page or image, or a blog post about a news article.
> 
> The Web Annotation Data Model specification describes a structured model and format to enable annotations to be shared and reused across different hardware and software platforms. Common use cases can be modeled in a manner that is simple and convenient, while at the same time enabling more complex requirements, including linking arbitrary content to a particular data point or to segments of timed multimedia resources.
> 
> The specification provides a specific JSON format for ease of creation and consumption of annotations based on the conceptual model that accommodates these use cases, and the vocabulary of terms that represents it.
> 
> Status of This Document:
> This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at https://www.w3.org/TR/ <https://www.w3.org/TR/>.
> 
> This specification was derived from the Open Annotation Community Group's outcomes, and details of the differences between the two are maintained in the Acknowledgment appendix.
> 
> This document was published by the Web Annotation Working Group as a Proposed Recommendation. This document is intended to become a W3C Recommendation. The W3C Membership and other interested parties are invited to review the document and send comments to public-annotation@w3.org <mailto:public-annotation@w3.org> (subscribe, archives) through 14 February 2017. Advisory Committee Representatives should consult their WBS questionnaires. Note that substantive technical comments were expected during the Candidate Recommendation review period that ended 20 December 2016.
> 
> Please see the Working Group's implementation report.
> 
> Publication as a Proposed Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.
> 
> This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.

> 
> Abstract:
> The Web Annotation Vocabulary specifies the set of RDF classes, predicates and named entities that are used by the Web Annotation Data Model [annotation-model]. It also lists recommended terms from other ontologies that are used in the model, and provides the JSON-LD Context and profile definitions needed to use the Web Annotation JSON serialization in a Linked Data context.
