In-Context Annotations for Refinding and Sharing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Annotations support understanding, interpretation, sensemaking and scannability. As valuable as in paper-based contexts, digital online annotations provide several benefits for annotators and collaborators. To further explore the real benefits of online annotations, we implemented a simple Web Annotation tool, SpreadCrumbs, to support our studies. The tool provides a simple annotation mechanism, simulating real-world paper-based annotations. In addition, the tool supports search, sharing capabilities and social navigation. We conducted a series of user studies that empirically demonstrates the benefits of “in-context” annotations for refinding and sharing.

A Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....

متن کاملUsing Superimposed and Context Information to Find and Re-find Sub-documents
Superimposed information (SI) is new information such as annotations created in reference to bits of existing information. SI references existing information using an abstraction called mark. A mark can be activated to see referenced information in its original context. Context information is the set of information obtained using a mark. For example, page number and font characteristics are inc...
متن کاملPienapple Search: an integrated search interface to support finding, refinding and sharing
Pienapple is a search interface that aims to combine bookmarking and searching within a blended experience to facilitate improved access, serendipity, and sharing. While personal and social bookmarking platforms already exist, they are often separated from the search system, resulting in an increased effort and complexity because two or more systems need to be used. Instead, Pienapple attempts ...
