Re: Semantic Web & annotations

Marja,

Yes, this sounds great.  I did mention collaboration tools in 
http://www.w3.org/Member/Meeting/99AC/NovAC/Technology-and-Society-Summary.h 
tml#Metadata as an important Semantic Web application so would be delighted 
to see it as part of this mix. What do you need in order to accomplish the 
last steps you mention in your message?
