Submitted below is a use case, "Review". This use case highlights the need I see for a user to be able to search for annotations of a particular "persuasion" (i.e. type/motivation) on a particular resource. If I write a review of a book and people don't know how to find it, what good is it? Ray Review Reviewers submit reviews of resources -- books, scholarly articles, etc. A user wants to find reviews of a particular resource. Example Amy is trying to determine whether she wants to read the book Zookeeper's Wife by Ackerman; she would like to read reviews. There are many reviews - at Publishers Weekly, Goodreads, Amazon, New York Times, NPR, and various other web sites. Amy would prefer to be able to gather a single list of reviews (with links), rather than going to various review sites individually to look for a review of the book. If there is are mechanisms in place whereby 1. whenever a review is written, the reviewer (or a third-party annotator) can create an annotation (saying "this review reviews this book") ; and 2. a user can search for all "review" annotations for a specific target; then Amy can find reviews of Zookeeper's Wife - at least those reviews for which Annotations have been created.
