Using Annotations to Add Value to a Digital Library for Education - Robert A. Arko, et al; dLib
Formal, structured annotation metadata provides a mechanism by which digital libraries can provide additional information about library resources above and beyond that which is included in the master resource metadata record. Annotations can be used to capture, organize, and convey information that might otherwise be lost in the ephemera of emails or list servers, such as users' opinions about the usefulness of a resource or suggestions for adapting the resource for use in a classroom. Annotations can codify the professional judgment of third parties, who are neither resource creator nor library builder, for example, by marking resources that are judged to take an advocacy position on controversial issues. Annotations can flag resources that are of interest to a specialized subset of users, thus conveying specialized information that is only of interest to that sub-audience.
