HCLSIG/SWANSIOC/Document-Annotation-Subtask

Provenance-aware document annotation

The goal of this subtask is to explore ways to share text mining results and image annotations through the AO (Annotation Ontology) model. We would like to collect feedback from the community to improve the representation, reach for consensus and check for interoperability results.

AO: Annotation Ontology

The scalability of the Semantic Web hinges upon factoring information components into orthogonal ontologies. In addition to limiting the combinatorial explosion implicit in multifunction ontologies, it allows people to share code and understanding of core ontologies. Annotation Ontology (AO) is a vocabulary designed to extensively reuse existing domain ontologies (entities annotations or semantic tags) and to provide several other kind of annotations - comments, textual annotation (classic tags), notes, examples, erratum... - on potentially any kind of document (text, images, audio...) and document fragments.
