Re: annotation protocol

Hello all, And yes, I am another new.

I hope to be able to join you this evening. My time will be around 8pm in India.

I want to add the following to this thread. Again bringing to fore
some more inquires on both the use cases and the protocol:



web annotation use cases

Web Accessibility for low-literates, through re-narration

Re-narration Web is modeled as a distributed social networking
architecture for the purpose of making Web-content available for a
person who is not comfortable reading text or for a person in a
foreign context. Individuals contributing to alternative narratives is
the key aspect of re-narration Web. An individual can choose to
provide alternative narration to any specific entity such as an image,
a paragraph or subtitles for a segment of a video and such. The idea
of the re-narration Web is to provide a person visiting a Web page, a
comfortable narrative of the page content based on the visitor profile
and contributions of alternative narratives made available by the
community

Idea: http://a11y.in/a11ypi/idea/
Manifestation: SWeeT Web;
Prototype deployment: http://mitan.in/bcp/raika (top right is Alipi link)
Wiki: http://wiki.janastu.org/Alipi
Current Model: http://wiki.janastu.org/Sweet_Web

A SWeeT is a contribution of a Web data link by a user where the
contribution is a Web annotation.

Possible Protocol adaptation:

Imagine that a web link is passed to a semi-literate person. When the
person opens the link, based on the profile of the user, the browser
is able to suggest/deliver alternate user-friendly renditions of the
page. This could be through a cascade of curations: Regional
authorized curators > Author recommended > User subscribed > friends
of the user.

Other Web Annotation Use Cases

Restory:
Visual rendition of an interpretation of a folk narrative,
which can go through another interpretation, as another narrative.

Example: restory.chaha.in/dasara

Knowledge Bank of Indian Digital Hampi:
Connecting the Web data related to Hampi, based on specific
attributes, on the Web to set of Open link data stores so as
to provide a service for Heritage Web sites such as for
reconstruction and story telling tools.

Example: Knowledge Bank mentioned in digitalhampi.in
