Hey Richard!
Thanks for writing. There are exactly such things in the works. I've seen an in-progress demo from Randall (when we were hanging out at I Annotate) that uses fragment selectors to highlight (via the DOM Selection API). Here's W3C Note that defines the fragment selector format: http://w3c.github.io/web-annotation/selector-note/#frags We also discussed a demo pretty similar to what you describe that has a Web Annotation Data Model document shown in a textarea (perhaps) that is also used to highlight a thing on the page. At any rate, these exact things are in progress. :) If you'd like to write-up a demo page and a Web Annotation Data Model annotation (or a few) that highlight some stuff, that'd be a great help to demo on. We also plan to make the fragment selector thing (at least) usable on the http://annotator.apache.org/ site for demoing there. Thanks again for writing!

Hi all, does anybody have a simple example of annotatorjs or Apache Annotator that would work without a server-side storage? I am imagining something like * a static HTML page with some text in it and * a JSON structure being created locally in that page which represents the annotations * an invocation of annotatorjs/annotator that takes the JSON and renders it over the text As an outcome, one would see parts of the texts highlighted and on-mouse-over information about the annotations would be displayed. For this simple example, editing these annotations wouldn't even be required. If anybody could point me to such an example, that would be great! Cheers, -- Richard
