“…Content Annotation Tool (CAT) (Munnelly et al, 2013;Ferro et al, 2013) is a web annotation tool that enables users to manually annotate both text and images within the CULTURA environment. The current granularity for annotation of text is at the level of the letter; for image annotations the granularity is at the level of the pixel.…”

The increased digitisation of cultural collections and their availability on the World Wide Web has made access to these valuable documents much easier than ever before. However, despite the increased availability of access to cultural archives, curators still struggle to instigate and enhance engagement with these resources. The CULTURA project is actively addressing this issue through the development of a metadata-driven personalisation environment for exploring cultural collections and instigating collaborations. This paper discusses the state of the art in this area and the various innovative approaches used in the CULTURA project, with a special focus on how the underlying metadata helps to facilitate its semantically rich environment. An evaluation of the CULTURA project with students is detailed, highlighting its relevance for those without domain expertise. This is vital as the system needs to adapt and support a full spectrum of users, from professional researchers to interested members of the public.

This contribution reflects on the value of plurality in the 'network with a thousand entrances' suggested by McCarty (http://goo.gl/H3HAfs), and others, in association with approaching time-honoured annotative and commentary practices of much-engaged texts. The question is how this approach aligns with tensions, today, surrounding the multiplicity of endeavour associated with modeling practices of annotation by practitioners of the digital humanities. Our work, hence, surveys annotative practice across its reflection in contemporary praxis, from the MIT annotation studio whitepaper (http://goo.gl/8NBdnf) through the work of the Open Annotation Collaboration (http://www.openannotation.org), and manifest in multiple tools facilitating annotation across the web up to and including widespread application in social knowledge creation suites like Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web annotation)
