Abstract

The Open Annotation Core Data Model specifies an interoperable framework for creating associations between related resources, annotations, using a methodology which conforms to the Architecture of the World Wide Web. Open Annotations can easily be shared between platforms, with sufficient richness of expression to satisfy complex requirements while remaining simple enough to also allow for the most common use cases, such as attaching a piece of text to a single web resource.

This document lists examples of the data model, divided by section of the Open Annotation Core Specification.

1. Introduction

This document lists as many known examples of good practice for creating annotations that conform to the Open Annotation specification. It is divided into the same sections as the Open Annotation Core Specification for ease of reference.

This document was created in order to ensure that the examples were easily able to be discovered, without having to edit the main specification. As such, it is not under explicit version control.
