“…This domain is a particularly challenging one for the development of an annotation system, because the actual data of the objects potentially change over time at the source [in contrast to, say, archival documents or published literature, as e.g. dealt with in SharedCanvas ( 11 )].…”

“…Although the Morphbank annotation tool ( 9 ) also allows users the creation of structured annotations to biological specimens, it is restricted to the Morphbank system and does not provide annotations of record data from external resources or data providers. This topic is addressed by the annotation tool SharedCanvas ( 10 ), which facilitates the interoperability of repositories of culturally important handwritten documents ( 11 ) by allowing to describe the interrelationships of resources like texts or images, but SharedConvas does not allow for simultaneous structured annotations. To enable this functionality for our current use case ‘specimen data’, data portals would be required to add e.g.…”

AnnoSys—implementation of a generic annotation system for schema-based data using the example of biodiversity collection data

et al. 2017

Biological research collections holding billions of specimens world-wide provide the most important baseline information for systematic biodiversity research. Increasingly, specimen data records become available in virtual herbaria and data portals. The traditional (physical) annotation procedure fails here, so that an important pathway of research documentation and data quality control is broken. In order to create an online annotation system, we analysed, modeled and adapted traditional specimen annotation workflows. The AnnoSys system accesses collection data from either conventional web resources or the Biological Collection Access Service (BioCASe) and accepts XML-based data standards like ABCD or DarwinCore. It comprises a searchable annotation data repository, a user interface, and a subscription based message system. We describe the main components of AnnoSys and its current and planned interoperability with biodiversity data portals and networks. Details are given on the underlying architectural model, which implements the W3C OpenAnnotation model and allows the adaptation of AnnoSys to different problem domains. Advantages and disadvantages of different digital annotation and feedback approaches are discussed. For the biodiversity domain, AnnoSys proposes best practice procedures for digital annotations of complex records. Database URL: https://annosys.bgbm.fu-berlin.de/AnnoSys/AnnoSys

“…If the focus within IIIF was first in the dissemination of two-dimensional images and then audiovisual resources in a subsequent phase, there have been discussions and experiments for many years to expand the so-called Shared Canvas [4,36] or transform it into a space that can accommodate 3D objects. It is one of the purposes of the IIIF 3D Technical Specification Group 19 to specify a future Presentation API or an extension that can standardize this new framework that can display and annotate -which would be compliant to the Web Annotation Data Model as well [37] -as well as combine 3D resources 19 https://iiif.io/community/groups/3d/tsg/…”

This paper addresses the concerns of the digital heritage field by setting out a series of recommendations for establishing a workflow for 3D objects, increasingly prevalent but still lacking a standardized process, in terms of long-term preservation and dissemination.We build our approach on interdisciplinary collaborations together with a comprehensive literature review. We provide a set of heuristics consisting of the following six components: data acquisition, data preservation, data description, data curation and processing, data dissemination, as well as data interoperability, analysis and exploration. Each component is supplemented by suggestions for standards and tools, which are either already common in 3D practices or represent a high potential component seeking consensus to formalize a 3D environment fit for the Humanities, such as efforts carried out by the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF).We then present a conceptual high-level 3D workflow which highly relies on standards adhering to the Linked Open Usable Data (LOUD) design principles.

“…Additionally, a tool that neatly interacts with a storage repository would be useful, for facilitating permanent storage and sharing of texts and links. The SharedCanvas project [26] provides an online GUI-based environment for representing a manuscript visually using images. Manuscript pages can be annotated directly in the SharedCanvas environment using a 'point-and-click' approach to freely enter annotations of interest, which are stored in Open Annotation 5 format.…”

“…This may be contrasted with an alternative model that allows links to be made between two (or more) pages, with the information on that type of link also being recorded. Also, SharedCanvas targets scenarios where information on the manuscript is mostly available through images rather than transcriptions, hence "the focus [of SharedCanvas] is on the relationships between text and image" [26]. In situations where images are unavailable or unobtainable (for example if the digitisation process may damage an ancient document), or alternatively where the text has already been transcribed or is the main focus of interest, SharedCanvas becomes less appropriate.…”

Abstract-Researchers in digital humanities have for many years been producing online editions of texts based on TEI XML, a widely-adopted standard for marking up textual resources with semantic content. However, this has led to a certain isolation of information, the so-called 'digital silo', and such modes of digital publication have not always made best use of the possibilities of digital technologies. The model is also challenged by the need to model texts that are by their very nature interconnected. The paper describes a collaborative environment of tools and techniques for working with texts that allows scholars to work with such highlyinterconnected material.
