Self-introduction

Hi all, and sorry for being late with this introduction and for not being
in the call yesterday.

I am yet another Hypothes.is developer. I just finished a summer internship
there, where among other things I made a start with offering annotations in
the (draft) Open Annotation data model, in json-ld. I am interested in the
technical aspects of web annotation, and in particular see a nice challenge
in designing a distributed semantic web architecture, which the current
ideas seem to point towards. Rather than textual, human-readable
annotations, I am largely thinking about use cases involving 'semantic
annotations'. For example, having a 'correction' annotation could turn the
web into a kind of distributed wiki, in which you can let others' edits to
documents you read be applied automatically. I am currently based in
Helsinki (Finland), where I study machine learning.
Kind regards,

Gerben
