Thanks for interesing questions. I'm exploring as deeply as I can djvu text layer, metadata, anf informations wrapped into djvu file, and my feel is that djvu support is very primitive, the first needed step perhaps being conversion from "bundled" to "indirect" format; djvu files into the web are great exactly because single pages can be shared into the web, with their complete content. I'll take a look to Image annotations, I don't know anything about them even if I tested ImageMap extension as a proofreading tool: take a look here: http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Pagina:Vettura_a_vapore_del_signor_Dietz.djvu/1 Presently I'm building a python DjvuDsed "object", containing any information about the whole text layer and annotations and informations of a djvu file, and I'm adding, one by one, methods and attributes such a formidable object. I'll care for your ideas while going on. Alex
