Subject: Open Annotation Collaboration RFP
Dear all,
The Open Annotation Collaboration (OAC) project is pleased to announce
a Request For Proposal to collaborate with OAC researchers for
building implementations of the OAC data model and ontology. The OAC
is seeking to collaborate with scholars and/or librarians currently
using and/or curating established repositories of scholarly digital
resources with well-defined audiences of scholars. The OAC intends to
fund a set of four projects that are complementary in content media
type and use cases that leverage the OAC Data Model to the fullest
extent, and that leverage existing annotation tools or at least have
articulated an interesting scholarly annotation use case.
Two of the successful Respondents will collaborate with OAC
researchers at the University of Maryland and the other two will
collaborate with OAC research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign. (For these collaborations, Illinois and Maryland will
provide guidance on the implementation of the OAC data model and
ontology, help in defining extensions of the data model that might be
necessary, advice on existing tools that might be adaptable for the
demonstration experiment, feedback on correctness of mappings from/to
native annotation formats and/or annotations created.)
