Beyond Browsing: Shared Comments, SOAPs, Trails, and On-line Communities

Overview This paper describes the implementation of a system that enables people to share structured in-place annotations attached to material in arbitrary documents on the WWW. The basic conceptual decisions are laid out, and a prototypical example of the client-server interaction is given. Then it explains the usage perspective, describes the experience with using the system, and discusses other experimental usages of the prototype implementation, such as collaborative filtering, seals of approval, and value-added trails. Again the article shows how this is a specific instantiation of a more general "virtual document" architecture in which, with the help of light-weight distributed meta information, viewed documents can incorporate material that is dynamically integrated from multiple distributed sources. Development of that architecture is part of a larger project on Digital Libraries that any company is engaged in.
