Multi-structured documents and the emergence of annotations vocabularies
Pierre-Édouard Portier, Sylvie Calabretto · Balisage series on markup technologies · 2010
The construction of multi-structured documents often implies the definition of annotations vocabularies. Moreover, in a multi-users context, the growth of these vocabularies has to be controlled. Therefore, we propose using the trace of users activity to limit this growth and to document the vocabularies. For example, a user will be able to follow and annotate a term in the context of its surrounding actions from its creation to the last time it was used. From a broader point of view, this work is grounded on our Web based philological platform, DINAH, and is mainly motivated by our collaboration with a group of philosophers studying the handwritten manuscripts of Jean-Toussaint Desanti.
