Technology Review - A Standard for e-Comments

Got a few choice thoughts about what you see on the Web? Enter Annotea, a new technology that lets you annotate existing Web documents with commentary of your own.


Annotea is an open-source initiative sponsored by the non-profit World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the closest thing the Internet has to a governing body. Built into W3C's Amaya browser, Annotea allows third parties to append information to existing Web pages. The annotations are stored on a separate server, invisible to the viewer unless Annotea is activated.
