Webinar 24 Jan 2018: Hypothesis Annotation in PubFactory
In our joint webinar with Sheridan PubFactory on Wednesday 24 Jan 2018, we focused on the simple steps to add open, standards-based annotation into PubFactory publications with Hypothesis, the organization that brought the world open-source, standards-based annotations and runs the largest service of its kind with over 130K users and 2.5M annotations.
During the webinar, Director of Partnerships Heather Staines explores how Hypothesis collaborated with PubFactory publishers to support and host annotations that enable authors, editors, invited experts, and readers to engage in discussion directly on a publication’s version of record. Sheridan’s Director of Platform Services Tom Beyer showed how easy it is to integrate Hypothesis into PubFactory and talked about how Hypothesis annotation fits in with the PubFactory platform.
The webinar started with a short presentation, including key publisher use cases, the benefits of interoperable, standards-based annotation, a live demo of annotation capabilities, an overview of options, including annotation groups and UI customization, and how to get started with annotation in PubFactory. The second part of the recording included a discussion of questions provided by attendees.
You may have missed the live webinar, but you can watch the recording below or on YouTube and view or download the slides to learn more about integrating annotation into your publications. When you’re ready, contact Hypothesis and join other organizations using open annotation with their publications.
