ESciDoc Services Annotator

Introduction

The motivation for defining an Annotator service comes from MPI MB Demonstrator proposal. Main aim is to be able to enrich publications with references or short descriptions/comments on resources about which a publication (or another form of work) is about. There is an assumption that most of these are external resources and are not managed by MPDL services. However, this does not have to be the case.

Some premisses:

• The solution shall not be heavy for PubMan and shall be applicable to other applications as well
• The solution shall be flexible enough and allow for extensions of various types of resources
• The solution shall be scalable
• ...
