“…The users came from different backgrounds and contexts and the domain objects represented the main body of work. This enabled them to have context-based indexing that created value added information that could form a thread of information, much like a discussion around a particular topic [92].…”

“…For example, in COLLATE, applying the right knowledge management tools such as indexing aids and domain-specific controlled vocabularies can create a growing body of metadata [92]. This user-generated metadata can then be used to provide semi-automatic categorisation and even possibly infer relationships between the objects.…”

“…An example of one limitation is the impracticality of annotating on a book that should be shared by many people [67]. Collaboratories, on the other hand, enable people who are spread out geographically to function in virtual teams that work together as if they were in the same space [92].…”

Digital Library Management Systems are systems that are able to manage collections of digital documents that form Digital Libraries and Digital Archives, and they are currently in a state of evolution. Today, most of the times they are simply places where information resources can be stored and made available, whereas for tomorrow they are becoming an integrated part of the way the user works. To cooperate towards reaching this new type of system, a digital library management system must become a tool that constitutes an active part of the intellectual production process.Annotations are effective means in order to enable an effective interaction between users and digital library management systems, since they are a very wellestablished practice and are widely used. Annotations are not only a way of explaining and enriching an information resource with personal observations, but also a means of transmitting and sharing ideas in order to improve collaborative work practices. Furthermore, annotations represent a bridge between reading and writing, that facilitates the user's first approach when they begin dealing with an information resource. Thus, a service able to support annotation capabilities of collection of digital documents can be appealing to the user's needs.This paper presents the main features of a flexible system capable of managing annotations in an automatic way in order to support users and their annotative practices. Indeed, a flexible architecture allows the design of a system with a widespread usage, so that users can benefit from its functionalities without limitations due to the architecture of a particular system. We named this system Flexible Annotation Service Tool and this paper is devoted to introduce most relevant design choices and characteristics of it.

Abstract. Annotation-based discussions are an important concept for today's digital libraries and those of the future, containing additional information to and about the content managed in the digital library. To gain access to this valuable information, discussion search is concerned with retrieving relevant annotations and comments w.r.t. a given query, making it an important means to satisfy users' information needs. Discussion search methods can make use of a variety of context information given by the structure of discussion threads. In this paper, we present and evaluate discussion search approaches which exploit quotations in different roles as highlight and context quotations, applying two different strategies, knowledge and relevance augmentation. Evaluation shows the suitability of these augmentation strategies for the task at hand; especially knowledge augmentation using both highlight and context quotations boosts retrieval effectiveness w.r.t. the given baseline.
