5 Web Annotation
Thursday Nov 5, 16:00 UK = 17:00 CET
Convenors: Monica Berti (Universität Leipzig), Valeria Vitale (British Library)
YouTube link: https://youtu.be/nmNKJ9uQwnw
Slides: Monica's Google presentation
In this session we return to the question of annotation, mentioned in the session on markup a few weeks ago, and we look in particular at some common tools for collaborative annotation of digital and web resources. Dr Berti will introduce us to the Web annotation tools INCEpTION and WebAnno, and their use in philological research. Dr Vitale will talk about the relationship between shared annotations and Linked Open Data, in particular via the Open Annotation Collaboration (OAC) Model, and the tools Hypothes.is and Recogito. After a discussion of the research value and impact of such annotations, we will introduce the exercise which is to collaboratively annotate a historical text using the Recogito platform.

- Create an account on Recogito
- If you need more information on the annotation and visualisation process, you can consult the online tutorial at https://github.com/pelagios/pelagios.github.io/wiki
- When creating tags, bear in mind that only the first tag is relevant in most visualisation options.
Upload on Recogito a document of your choice (either in text or image format) with a relevant number of place references. Think of a research question that you want to investigate, or a perspective that you want to highlight using map-based visualisation and tags. Perform the annotation and tagging and present your visualisation choices.
Log into Recogito, and annotate the Seventh Book of the Peloponnesian War that we have uploaded for you: https://recogito.pelagios.org/document/luibnsawiononq All the annotations created by the various users will be visualised in the same document. You can also comment (kindly) on existing annotations. What have you learned through the annotation process? Were other users' annotations useful to you? Did they change your perspective?
Create a small research group with some colleagues, and develop together a comparative research question. Upload two or more texts at the same time generating a single document on Recogito (see https://github.com/pelagios/pelagios.github.io/wiki/Recogito-Tutorial:-Uploading-modes) and proceed to annotate them. Choose the visualisation "by part" to highlight and analyse the differences in the place references. You can compare text and images, if that is relevant to your research question. If you are looking for inspiration, you can use the four books of the Argonautica at this link in Recogito: https://recogito.pelagios.org/document/ctsls4gicxhv7u If you don't want to share annotations with other users, you can re upload the text or make a copy of the document in Recogito. Did you know the location of all ancient places mentioned in the text? Were there places that you had to disambiguate? Did the comparison among the chapters make anything more evident?

Annotate one of the readings for this class with your comments and questions. Did other people's comments enhance your learning experience? Share your opinion with the rest of the class.
- If you have any questions about either of these exercises, please feel free to ask for help in this forum.
