BigBlueHat opened a new issue #70: Web Annotation Protocol Server (maybe?) URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-annotator/issues/70 This has come up a few times, but I'd like us to discuss building a [Web Annotation Protocol](https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-protocol/) server implementation as part of this project. It was part of the original [project proposal](https://github.com/apache/incubator-annotator/wiki/Proposal). The application mention in the Proposal was [MangoServer](https://github.com/azaroth42/MangoServer) which is JavaScript-based (required MongoDB), but hasn't really been maintained since 2017--not a blocker, per se, but something to consider. The Web Annotation Protocol, based on the [Linked Data Platform (LDP)](https://www.w3.org/TR/ldp-primer/) is fairly lightweight and ostensibly could be built upon existing LDP code. A handful of LDP implementations exist in and around Apache land: * https://www.trellisldp.org/ * active and probably the most up-to-date LDP and @ajs6f (a community member) is committer * http://marmotta.apache.org/ * Apache Marmotta is an Apache project, but looks like it's gone a bit quite in recent years Others we might consider that have LDP (at least) support: * http://callimachusproject.org/ * https://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/ It would also be *very* possible to build an implementation that uses a JSON document database (like Apache CouchDB). If we ignore authentication--pushing that to a different layer of the application--then creating this server code should be fairly minimal work, and complete our "stack" for those wanting to do front-to-back annotation stuff. Anyone interested? 😁
