Scientists, scholars, funders, publishers, and technologists from all over the world convened to enhance the value of research data by making them FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. Attendees gathered in Berlin to be a part of the important conversation to connect FAIR to digital annotation and data at the second annual Annotating All Knowledge Coalition face-to-face meeting, 9:00–17:00 CEST 24 Oct 2017, co-located with FORCE2017. The conference was co-hosted by Hypothesis with European PubMed Central, and organized in collaboration with ContentMine, PaperHive, and Pundit. For more, visit our companion blog post.

Webinar: Implementing Hypothesis for Publishers
2017-09-08 15:00 - 16:00
In our second webinar dedicated to annotation for publishers, on 8 September 2017, we focused on how easy it is to integrate annotation into publications. During the webinar, former Director of Partnerships Heather Staines and Director of Marketing Nate Angell talked about how to embed annotation in any platform or website and more advanced support and customization options with Hypothesis. Participants had plenty of questions, so more than half of the recording is Heather and Nate discussing a variety of topics related to making annotation a central part of publications and the publishing process.

The Annotating all Knowledge coalition gathered in Portland to begin the work of defining, designing, and implementing a common framework for scholarly collaboration. Members of the coalition include publishers, platform providers, librarians, standards makers, and technologists who share a common interest in annotation of all scholarly content for the benefit of scientists, humanists, students, teachers, and citizens. The goals of the workshop were to review existing uses of annotation, discuss anticipated uses, consider opportunities and challenges from the perspective of both publishers and implementers, converge on a definition of interoperability, and identify next steps.

Annotations at the W3C
2014-10-27 12:00 - 2014-10-31 20:00
A dedicated group of individuals worked diligently toward a web annotation standard — the idea being that annotation is something that will be fundamental to the future of the web and should be interoperable, and eventually incorporated into browsers. The first chance for a face to face meeting of this new group came during the 2014 W3C TPAC meeting in Santa Clara, California, October 27-31. This year also happened to be particularly special in that it was the 25th anniversary of the web and the 20th anniversary of the W3C.
We decided to take advantage of the opportunity to capture the insights of some of the key people working on annotation standards, those who have a historical perspective on how we got here, and why it’s important — including the inventor of the web and the Director of the W3C, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who mentioned annotation as one of the web’s requirements in his initial proposal in 1989.
