Abstract

Annotations are a mechanism that can support a variety of document-centric collaboration applications. The ubiquity of web content motivates the need for a web annotation system that supports collaborative creation of web content. Annotation system implementations that use intermediation (i.e. hooking in behavior extensions to the existing web infrastructure) techniques supported by the web are compatible with the current web infrastructure, and thus easily deployed. This paper describes our experience in building annotation systems using client-side and proxy-server based intermediation. The implementations point to areas where browsers and proxy-servers can be further opened up to better support annotation function.
