Dear all, We would like to invite you to participate in the Open Annotation Community Group, in particular to discuss the use of RDF and Linked Data. We have run into some interesting issues which we would love to discuss in more detail. Open Annotation is a RDF / Linked Data specification which describes an interoperable framework for annotating resources, such as to provide comments or reviews, bookmark or tag a resource or provide a link between related resources. Open Annotations have sufficient richness of expression to satisfy the complex requirements of scholarly and scientific use cases, while remaining simple enough to also allow for the most common use cases, such as attaching a piece of text to a single web resource. The current draft specification is the result of merging two previous efforts, the Open Annotation Collaboration and the Annotation Ontology, capitalizing on the cumulative experience gained in building both experiments and production level applications. We are looking to engage with other communities to ensure the broadest possible coverage of requirements. The core specification is available at: http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/ And the W3C community group: http://www.w3.org/community/openannotation/ We are in the process of arranging a face to face meeting in September, likely in Chicago. There may be (limited) travel funding available to continue the discussions from the list in person. Many thanks, and we look forwards to engaging with this topic in the Community Group! Rob Sanderson, Paolo Ciccarese Open Annotation Co-Chairs
