Annotations

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

   HOW DO I KNOW WHAT I AM READING? We are discussing form how do we talk about content? 

   How do you make the content readable for others?

   How do you communicate what you're interpreting?
