So it covers marginal notes by a reader, tagged queries of a database, teacher’s comments on a paper, video overlays to a scanned image, discussion threads attached to content, a musician’s note on the fingering for passage, etc.

There is so much going on. I’m fascinated about how the metadata/standards will play out.

* indexing — allows you to group like things together
* summarizing — well done, turns the original content into a “see more” option
* rating — a signal (along with reputation of rater) about whether to “see more”
* commentary — a non-metadata version of index, summary and rating

And then there’s the question of whether you can annotate just whole documents or chunks within them, as marginalia always did — but in a searchable way.

Interesting stuff!
