Yeah. Lots has happened in the intervening 14 years. :) The new thing is called the Web Annotation Data Model [1] and it's born out of work by the Web Annotation Working Group [2] which in turn built on the work created in the Open Annotation Community Group [3].
Annotea was used merely as a historical point--not the technical foundation of anything (afaik). You're welcome to dig through the Open Annotation CG mail archives for what their view of that was, but it doesn't directly effect this potential Apache project, nor its code--which will be focused in part on Web Annotation Data Model support and tooling...which I hope you'll find is more sane with 14 more years of "school of hard knocks" education at its back. :) Cheers!

How far has that come since it was a textbook example of how not to use RDF (e.g. https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2002Jul/0232.html ). I guess the real question is, is the system still based on confusing URIs used as invariants in RDF with URLs you dereference on the Web, as W3 annotea was? -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
