The document discusses annotation of media objects like text, images, audio, and video. Annotations can be simple textual notes or complex combinations of multiple media items. Annotations are associated with a target object using a persistent URI and can be searched, imported, and exported in standardized formats. Several examples of annotation tools are provided for text, images, videos, and maps that allow linking annotations to media objects.
2. • Annotating: the act of creating associations between
distinct pieces of information...
• An annotation is considered to be a set of connected
resources, typically including a body and target, and
conveys that the body is related to the target.

3. • Create media-rich annotations within a media object (text,
image, audio, video, Maps, Spatial, DB) by selecting an
area, segment or entire object and having the ability to
cross-reference it through persistent URI to other
annotated media resources.
• Annotations through persistent URI.
• Search annotations within the framework database through
a keyword, a search term or predefined ontological terms
(OWL).
• Import and export sets of annotations in standardized
interchangeable (machine readable) data formats (RDF).
