Re: Annotations, er, captions

[Ari Davidow]

These look exciting. I am also having a head-slapping moment.

Annotation is critical as part of selecting and storing information
about the objects that someone would want to combine in a media show.
That may be something that we also have to include in the first
release of this project, but it is not nearly as important as
something I will, instead, call a "caption" - that overlay or
appendage of text on a slide that calls the reader/student/viewer's
attention to a point (when the image alone does not suffice). I need
to follow the OpenAnnotation project, and to participate, if possible,
but what I need even more, are captions.

This could be considered a special case of combining more than one
object in a single display pane, or could be considered more generally
as how we display composites that contain more than one object (in my
simplest case, a media object, plus a text object--that which I have
tentatively labeled a "caption").

Does this make sense? Am I describing something that invokes a
simplest-case slide "image + caption" or "slide text w/illustrating
audio/video/image"? Is anyone approaching this question, and if so,
how?

hi all,

Check out the really interesting use of ORE in myexepriments.org:

http://rdf.myexperiment.org/ontologies/

ORE is used for what is called Packs and Experiments, and sample Resource Maps are shown at http://rdf.myexperiment.org/example/

I've added support to foresite-explorer for myExperiment now, and am
discussing with them how they might add link headers for auto-
discovery into their pages.

Greasemonkey plugin:
http://foresite.cheshire3.org/explorer/foresite-explorer.user.js

Screenshot applied to MyExperiment:

Also supported:
* JSTOR (wrapped but going native)
* ChroniclingAmerica (native)
* Flickr (wrapped)
* WordPress (transformed from Native Atom to RDF)
* GroupMe.org (wrapped, but going native)
* Oxford Research Archive (Native)

If you have some resource maps I could use, let me know!
