08.05.19 Notes on use of annotations

Main question: How can annotation be useful to us, and a third party?

Possible ways

Keep text and annotations together

• scan and overlay transparencies (more like a graphical representation but perhaps not very readable)
• write, re-write, cut and paste the annotations in a bigger paper all together
• use the annotation bot (a digital tool)(it would be cool if you could underline, etc - yes! including graphic elements)
• if digital, create the possibility to turn on and off the annotations to keep the original text
• bind the pages into books and make a bootleg library with them

Separate text and annotations (deconstruction / structure analysis)

• only underlined text (in many ways: lines, circles, waves...)
• list of questions, tags, notes + composition and mapping of them (different mapping techniques)
• historical timeline
• only drawings?
• free graphical interpretation

Computer driven annotation

• scrape the text (words processing)
• pattern recognition
• delete all articles and implicit elements

Combine the above possibilities

• overlay of analog annotations to represent "heat patterns" (parts of the text with lots of/little engagement), as well as a digital version that is more legible
