Web Annotation - TalatCikikci/BounSwe573Repo GitHub Wiki
##Summary
Annotations can be described as bridges between different resources that provide a relation between them. Today annotations may be encountered in the social web in the form of "comments" and "share"s.
Web Annotation Data Model is a framework for the structure of these annotations that aim to make them interoperable and modular, that is; the same relations would be easily used in different platforms without losing meaning and will be extensible when there is a need to add more functionality.
Web Annotation Data Model does not concern itself with HOW the data will be transferred, as to allow freedom in the used technologies.
This small image from W3C's web annotation page displays the relationship between body of information, annotation and the target.
