Open Annotation Community Group

The Open Annotation Community Group is a collaborative organization dedicated to developing shared standards and tools for annotating digital resources. Annotation, in this context, refers to adding notes, comments, highlights, or tags to online content such as websites, images, or documents. The group's goal is to make it easier for people to create, share, and understand annotations across different platforms and systems, enhancing collaboration, research, education, and information management. By establishing common frameworks, they help ensure annotations are interoperable, persistent, and accessible, benefiting users across various fields and institutions.
