Hi  Robert,
don't get me wrong: For most of the RDF cases Open Annotation is fine. I was talking here about non-RDF use cases, e.g. HTML.
You gave one example yourself:
<a href="http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/core.html#FragmentURIs";>AnchorText</a> or <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/house#English-abode";>the meaning of house in the sense of abode</a>

You can not put RDF into the "href" attribute and you would need extra infrastructure (a server + service for minting and resolving URIs) to send around a simple link.

Dear all,

Thank you for the comments on Open Annotation!

We agree, of course, that fragments are extremely important. In Open Annotation we have a hybrid approach consisting of three parts:

* If the resource can be described solely using fragments, then we promote that.
http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/core.html#FragmentURIs

* However there are situations when we need more information than can be provided in a fragment, such as also adding the time of the representation or providing style information for the segment, then we introduce a FragmentSelector resource that provides the fragment syntax along with this additional information.
http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/specific.html#FragmentSelector

* And then there are the situations where the fragment syntax isn't sufficient or doesn't exist. For example circles or arbitrary paths in spatial dimensions, arbitrary text in any textual resource, or selections in resources with media types that do not have fragment definitions at all. In these cases we have to look elsewhere, and use additional Selector resources.
http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/specific.html#Selectors

We would be very happy for additional engagement and discussion in this area as to best practices and recommendations.

    Open annotation is great. Really powerful and well designed
    ontology and model. It doesn't replace fragment ids, however. Both
    are necessary:
    frag ids to link with in simple use cases (e.g. HTML) and the
    other one to annotate properly.
    A bridge between them would be nice.

    All the best,
    Sebastian

    Hi Sebastien,

    I use latex as well. Utopia is a pdf reader.

    But utopia does support referencing bits of the pdf. As I
    understand, they are moving to extending the open annotation
    ontology. I've cc'd Steve Pettifer who created Utopia and who
    will known the ins-and-outs.

    Currently, they store all the annotations separately.

    Thanks
    Paul

        Hi Paul,
        personally for me latex works best, because it has good
        editors and support for description logic formulas. Plus it
        is widely used and quite good for PDF typesetting.

        It would be really swell to be able to address content within
        PDF with identifiers. Did Utopia solve that problem?

        I am asking along the lines of
        - mediafragments [1]
        - RFC 5147 text fragment identifier (see the example at the
        bottom of [2])
        - xpointer/xpath [3]

        If yes, I would like to use it immediately. There are plans
        to convert the Google Mention corpus (which includes PDF's)
        to NIF [2] .
        The PDF Open Parameters provided by [4] are way too simple.

        All the best,
        Sebastian

        Hi Sarven,

        Beyond the PDF for me is moving beyond the current research
        communication system as highlighted by the Force 11
        manifesto (http://www.force11.org/white_paper). This
        includes adopting technologies that augment/extend (i.e. go
        beyond) existing technologies. For example, making data
        easily accessible and citable, providing links to online
        content, making multiple perspectives on content available,
        exposing provenance, using altmetrics. I'm very influenced
        by the work on Utopia (http://utopiadocs.com) so that's why
        I think using pdfs are fine - you can do a lot with them as
        they stand - and for a certain form of communication
        (written long form text) they work well. As technologist we
        need to make sure that these new technologies work well in
        the environment and connect to other things.

        cheers
        Paul

            Paul, I have one last question for you if you don't
            mind, because it seems like you are not interested in
            playing this out and I don't want to bother you further:
            what does "beyond the PDF" mean to you?
