Re: Web annotations for physical texts

My challenge is to use the Web Annotation model to annotate a map figure in a print book with authority identifiers for the places it refers to. The book has ISBN and OCLC identifiers and the map figures are numbered, but it isn’t viewable directly over the web. 

 

I take it from this discussion that a standard selector to accomplish this does not exist, so I’m left to design our own. Is that right? Comments, corrections, and suggestions greatly appreciated.
