Abstract:

Did you ever read something on /in? int. *on* a book, screen, sign, cereal box, printout, *on* a newspaper - broadsheet, *on* a magazine,  (and I annotate all of those!)//  a book, felt the need to comment, took up a pencil and scribbled something on the books' text'? If you did, you just annotated a book.
That process has now become something fundamental and revolutionary in these days of computing.
Annotation is all about adding further information to text, pictures, movies, even to physical objects. In practice, anything which can be identified either virtually or physically can be annotated.
In this book, we will delve into what /?/ makes /? defines? or actually makes, enacts/ annotations, and analyse their significance /import?/ for the future evolutions of the web. We will explain why it was thought to be unreasonable /unreasonable? int/     to annotate documents manually and how Web 2.0 is making us rethink our beliefs. We will have a look at tools which make use of Artificial Intelligence techniques to support people in the annotation task. Behind these tools, there exists an important property of the web known as redundancy /LOOK UP crowd?/; we will explain what it is and show how it can be exploited. Finally we will gaze into the crystal ball and see what we might expect to see in the future.  // ...'future studies' //
Until people understand what the web is all about and *its grounding in annotation* /y. hypertext!  you-can-get-anywhere-from-here link-to-link text sites like what was that called ~ the bordem/, people cannot start appreciating it /arguable, right?/. And until they do so, they cannot start creating the web of the future /again arguable, made this present web of the former future [LOOK UP is this web 3.0? 4.0? or still 2.0? read-write. what is working definition of these web ~ moments?] now: visual infinite scrolling, social network logins across sites - ggl, fbk, discus.//

* y I v m like to think re grounded in annotation.  is that arguable? or straight forward?  hyperlink is basic.  is building block ~ not base?  or ~ defining of web [digital, computing] is that the building block IS the base?  if hypertext is not the ground of the internet, what wld we say is?
