Annotations 08.05.19

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
