Adding Advanced Annotation Functionalities to an Existing Digital Library System

  • Conference paper
Book cover Interdisciplinary Aspects of Information Systems Studies

Abstract

This study presents a solution to add annotation functions to an available digital library management system. The solution is based on the integration of a specialized annotation service into an existing digital library, where the annotation service supports the creation, reading and listing of annotations together with the possibility of searching for digital objects within the digital library system also making use of the content of the annotations related to them.
