Hi all, We've got the (very promising!) beginnings of a core framework for building HTML annotation tools that work well with the W3C Web Annotation format. What I'm beginning to wonder is if we might also need/want to consider bringing in (or building or integrating with) other code that may get more content into HTML for annotating.
There are of course projects like PDF.js (Mozilla) and EPUB.js (FuturePress.org) which would be great to see integrations and/or demos on top of (at some point). There's another project I'm connected with (dedocx) that does Microsoft Word .docx file (OOXML) conversion into "ugly" HTML and then has a plugins system for post-processing that into more meaningful content (i.e. adding Linked Data, etc.): https://github.com/science-periodicals/dedocx Would this sort of project be something we might be able to find a home for here under the Apache Annotator banner? Or, barring that, maybe consider sending through the incubator process on its own--if others are interested? Just musings at this point, but thought I'd reach out to see if y'all had thoughts. :) Cheers! Benjamin -- http://bigbluehat.com/ http://linkedin.com/in/benjaminyoung
