Internet-Draft 'annotation-server' rel Type September 2011
1. Overview
Various mechanisms have been proposed for creating annotations to Web
pages (hereafter called "Web annotations"). While some such
mechanisms are tightly integrated with the Web page itself, others,
such as Annnotea [Annotea], allow storing Web annonations on
arbitrary third-party servers. This creates a lot of independence
and flexibility, but also risks that annotations for the same Web
page are scattered among various servers which cannot easily be
found.
To make it easier to find and place annotations for a given Web page
on annotation servers, this document defines the 'annotation-server'
Link Relation Type [RFC5988]. The link target is a suggestion for
which server to use to find existing annotations and to place new
annotations for the link context. This Link Relation Type does not
constrain the protocol to be used to store and retreive annotations.
A future version of this document might propose additional
application data to specify protocol details.
2. Security Considerations
Please see the security considerations section of [RFC5988].
3. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to register the following Link Relation Type in the
Link Relation Type Registry [RFC5988]. The registration template is
as follows:
Relation Name:
annotation-server
Description:
Designates an annotation server used to store annotations
for the link's context.
Reference:
RFC YYYY [RFC Editor: Please replace with actual RFC number.]
Notes:
currently none
Application Data:
currently none
