A framework for the standardized description of handwritten annotations
Marcel Götze · International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications · 2005
In this paper we introduce a novel way for the standardized description of handwritten annotations on an electronic document. This approach allows it on the one hand to describe the annotation itself which means the geometric representation. On the other hand information about the handwritten annotation like author, type, or the text it refers to can also be stored together with the annotation. Furthermore, since our approach is based on Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) which is based on XML, it nicely fits into the structure of a Document Object Model (DOM). This allows it to store the annotation together with the annotated document as well as separate.
