08.05.19 Notes on use of annotations[edit]
Main question: How can annotation be useful to us, and a third party?
Possible ways
Keep text and annotations together
- scan and overlay transparencies (more like a graphical representation but perhaps not very readable)
- write, re-write, cut and paste the annotations in a bigger paper all together
- use the annotation bot (a digital tool)(it would be cool if you could underline, etc - yes! including graphic elements)
- if digital, create the possibility to turn on and off the annotations to keep the original text
- bind the pages into books and make a bootleg library with them
Separate text and annotations (deconstruction / structure analysis)
- only underlined text (in many ways: lines, circles, waves...)
- list of questions, tags, notes + composition and mapping of them (different mapping techniques)
- historical timeline
- only drawings?
- free graphical interpretation
Computer driven annotation
- scrape the text (words processing)
- pattern recognition
- delete all articles and implicit elements
Combine the above possibilities
- overlay of analog annotations to represent "heat patterns" (parts of the text with lots of/little engagement), as well as a digital version that is more legible

How do you make the content readable for others?
How do you communicate what you're interpreting?
