Technical Specifications for the HIRMEOS Open Annotation Service

This document is a HIRMEOS project deliverable.

Ubiquity Press (UP) is developing an annotations service (T5.1). The software that collects the annotations will run in their servers, and a public API will be provided (T5.2). Publishers will be able to register DOIs in the service developed in WP6, and then perform requests to the WP6 API to obtain the annotation metrics per DOI. The API will provide metrics for annotations along with the existing metrics which will be implemented as part of WP6. UP will also provide a JavaScript library that generates a widget that will be used to annotate the HTML, ePub and PDF version of a chapter, and help the partners in getting it to work on their platforms (T5.4-7).
