“…Because environments in which users actually work must bring together content in various formats, the toolsets developed for post‐retrieval analysis, use, personalization, and collaboration are necessarily integrated. Image annotation and linking within environments also heavy in textual content have been a focus of several longer‐term undertakings that are now reporting success (Attig et al, 2004; Pisciotta et al, 2005; Thiel, Brocks, Dirsch‐Weigand, Everts, Frommholz, & Stein, 2005).…”

“…Audio, video, and graphics can be combined to annotate each other or texts. In the case of image annotations, users are building text information on top of objects that originally had no associated textual content (Attig et al, 2004; Chang, 2005; Pisciotta et al, 2005); combinations of methods including feature extraction and collaborative annotation have been shown to work together successfully (Thiel et al, 2005).…”

A historical and contemporary study on annotations to derive key features for systems design

This paper provides a comprehensive study on annotations by defining their contours and complexity. This work adds a new complementary approach to the usual case and user studies, and also investigates history in order to benefit from previous knowledge and our cultural heritage. This study emphasizes an aspect which has never previously been taken into account: the temporal dimension involved in annotations. Moreover, it discusses both the notion of hypertext between documents and annotations and the idea of annotations as context for documents. The study gives the necessary historical and cultural background to derive a set of key features of annotations that must be taken into account when designing systems that have to support the management of digital annotations on digital contents

Abstract. The diversity of sources of information for historical research fill a continuum between individual accounts transmitted for instance in letters but also in poems and songs, and aggregated statistical information as in the case of historical census. Historiography shares this heterogeneity and complexity of source material with other humanities fields. Methods to order this rich material, and by this ordering also to determine the way history is told are as old as history writing and vary among the different branches (or subdisciplines) of historical research.In this paper we focus on the work of historians, and even more specifically economic and social history.At the crossroad of information and historical sciences, so-called Historical Informatics or History and Computing emerged as a specific profession during the nineties of the last century. Together with computer scientists historians created a research agenda concentrating around questions how to create, design, enrich, edit, retrieve, analyze and present historical information with help of information technology. There exist a number problems and challenges in this field; some of them are closely related to semantics and meaning of knowledge in general. In this context, Semantic Web technologies can be applied in a number of situations, environments, applications of historical computing and historical information science. However, only a few number of contributions have yet considered these technologies. In this survey we present an overview of the past and present problems, challenges and advances of historical science computing, from out the perspective of Semantic technology.
