Living Memory Annotation Tool - Image Annotations for Digital Libraries

Living Memory Annotation Tool - Image Annotations for Digital Libraries

Abstract

Digital Libraries are currently discovering the full potential of web technologies in conjunction with building rich user communities and retaining customers. A visit to a digital library should nowadays offer more than passive consumption of content. Both the library and the user can benefit from moving forward from the ”content provider” vs. ”consumer” paradigm to the ”prosumer” paradigm, thus allowing the user to produce and actively contribute content, interact with content and be part of communities of interest. We are presenting a smart annotation tool developed as part of the ’Living Memory’ applications in the context of the EU-project BRICKS that supports the prosumer approach by inviting users to contribute new information by annotating content or commenting other annotations, thereby creating new knowledge in a collaborative way.
