Proposed interface

what? My contribution in the X-LIB is about interfacing the ecosystem of annotations that goes along with the books. This parallel, often hidden, text-based content that surrounds the books and articles is dealt here as important as the core text. It can be seen as a supplementary material to the content of the X-LIB or as an indepedent entity, an alter ego of the books. It introduces a forum of collective writing, that takes the form of paratext. That is, the main text of published authors is often surrounded by other material supplied by the authors, editors, printers, and publishers and in this case readers. Each reader is invited to add publicly, and together with others, comments, references, poetic interventions, memories, stories, research questions in the core body of the existing texts. This material cannot be separated by the annotated prConnected with the metadata hosted by the machine but also the implemetations that have be done for a network to exist. A shared space of always mutable and under contruction knowledge.

how will it be made? Within the infrastructure of the X-LIB the annotation machine takes advantage of and intervenes in the different created spaces that accommodates this library. Either through the catalogying system or the tunnels being created with tools like Tinc-Sync and Rsync the added and connected information can be passed through like small parasites. In addition to that an existing tool called hypothes.is is helping in writing comments in a the digital PDFs or the HTML pages representing the books (containing the title, the metadata, ...). The textfile is creating another book.


why is it necessary? The system of the annotated interventions opens a realm of possibilities in the structure of a pirate library. The added material can often be irrational, random, personal or specified by a machinery mechanism. This brings the sense of contingency of reading. When a book is read or downloaded doesn't mean that the library is over and passive. With the purpose to create never-complete 'versions' of the books, I want to relate the multi-dimensional subjectivity that feminist theory introduces with the general perspective of piracy and knowledge. The reader is called to exist as a fluid identity in the multi-layered space of a network.


Relation to project as whole (how does it interface with the rest of the PZI library project) The interface of annotations are connected with the stacks, as is can create personal paths of research and lead to sub-collections of books. More specifically, this feature adds a layer of personal connections and series of thoughts related to a book and is a way to visualize interests of readers of a book, but also highlight the common focus on specific field of research. Some annotations in specific pages will overlap each other. The maintenance and continuity of the X-PUB it maintains through the participation of the librarians. My interface helps people to stay connected and write together through their own interests, following the ones the annoations of the other.


Relation to your self-directed research (how does it interface with previous work or abiding interests? what new interests are you following?) collective writing, reading, feministic approach, virginia woolf, literature. infrastructure of pirate libraries.

X-Lib Angeliki's contribution

Metadata

  • What info to extract, to make visible?
    • other metadata related to the protocols (like the TCP/IP)
    • annotations that have happened manually for the purpose of the protocols (like for DNS connected to IP)

Platform

Search?

Annotation System

  • Human annotations in browser? As a separate layer to the books? Visible to everyone? Stored in a textfile?
  • Machine annotations? Metadata

Reading Time

Reading a pirate library in public space

Access

Tunnels and protocols

  • Playing with the accessibility by hiding parts in the network, separating the data in pieces, changing the names of the books depending on the annotations
  • Meet you in the middle (sophie calle, phone booth) of the net. Leaving traces

Mirrors
