Web Annotation Protocol

http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-annotation-protocol-20150702/

Abstract

Annotations are typically used to convey information about a resource or associations between resources. Simple examples include a comment or tag on a single web page or image, or a blog post about a news article.

The Web Annotation Protocol describes the transport mechanisms for creating and managing annotations in a method that is consistent with the Web Architecture and REST best practices.
