Anno Pub 1

Persistence of Annotations

Anno-Pub-1

Use case

A user wishes to save the annotation that they have created in order to retrieve it later. The Annotation should be given a unique and resolvable identifier. The user may wish to save the annotation in their own system, rather than the system which provides the resource being annotated. The user may equally wish to save the annotation in multiple systems. The annotation should persist in local storage if the user is offline, and be persisted globally once the connection is re-established. In the interim, a locally unique identifier should be assigned to the annotation. Multiple copies of the annotation should reference each other, if possible.

Requirement(s)

* Global Identity of a particular publication (URI)

* Service (networked and/or local) for storing, managing and retrieving annotations
