recommend that students “take notes on how the author characterizes the landlady.” In order to
unlock the meaning of this classic creepy story, students must identify that the landlady isn’t the
kindhearted woman that she first appears to be. By having students pay attention to and take notes
on the details of how the landlady is characterized, this Annotation Task can help students unlock
the mystery in this text. As shown in Figure 3, the language parser is used in two places: generating
suggestions and parsing the user’s input. The selected grammar representation should hence support
both applications. The real-time nature of the user interface requires that the representation should
support efficient parsing while creating suggestions. The key benefit of using controlled natural
languages is that they are easily processable by parsers and they can be translated into other
representations without ambiguity problems. After constructing a parser tree from the user’s input

To perform this, we extended the grammar representation with additional data that help to construct
the translation. For example, grammar symbols can be extended with their Prolog counterparts and
their arguments. A grammar symbol such as Verb can be mapped to a Prolog symbol verb, and its
arguments can also be specified in the form of verb(Word), where Word is a grammar symbol that
will be instantiated during parsing. This way a sentence matching the grammar rule “Word is a
Verb:verb(Word)” will be translated into a verb(Word) clause in Prolog where the argument (Word)
will get its value from the parse tree. RDF triplets (or other knowledge representations) can be
constructed in a similar way. these actions. “Foregoing” medical interventions is used Annotated

reading you do may be for pleasure or general information, in college you must read for

time you write, so too is reading a process that takes time and effort-much of it through re-reading.

http://www.maybeckhs.org/annotation02.jpg. Annotating a Book. The first step before annotating a
book is choosing a method that works best for you!. When do you annotate?. When an important
idea is being expressed. We also analyzed the content of these annotations. We identified two main
types of knowledge: factual (e.g., Constantinapole is a city) and relational (e.g., a note is referring to
a certain part of the corpus, or it contains a reference to external entities). We further divided the
factual knowledge types into the following categories: Note that from the first issue of 2016, this
journal uses article numbers instead of page numbers. See further details here. Many of the above
exercises presume that students are annotating for the most part together on a shared course text. But
the nature of web annotation is that we can see the notes of others even if we are not reading the
same text. In this way, we can attend to annotations as texts themselves. Like a friend’s Facebook
page or Twitter feed, seeing someone else navigate the world can be interesting. And through web

because each Hypothesis user’s annotations are streamed on their public “My Annotations” page,
teachers can monitor and assess student work there rather than on individual texts if so desired. (You

method has several limitations and problems. Constructing the controlled language is not easy. It
requires the deep understanding of the problem domain (the annotations) and knowledge about how
grammar rules can be created. The controlled language is not the same as the natural language known
by the user. It has limited expressiveness; its grammar is not as flexible; and its vocabulary also
contains a restricted set of words. These limitations mean that the user has to be trained (or helped)
to use the controlled language interface. Although we have shown that predictive text input can help
in this matter, it is not enough in many cases. This needs more investigation: What other methods can
be used to increase the flexibility of the controlled language interface? How can they be tailored
during run-time according to the user’s needs? In short, there are many different “reading lenses”
that students can use to guide their note-taking. For example, there may even be times that you
choose to create an Annotation Task in response to trends in your classroom data. Just remember to
choose a lens that supports the text and furthers an instructional goal of your lesson or unit. Search

knowledge (e.g., a word is a noun meaning, etc.), etc. In some cases, these are combined into longer
sentences (e.g., listing all bibliographical references for a citation). Annotated Bibliographies.
Anthropology 218 Suzanne van den Hoogen, MLIS September 17, 2013. What is an “Annotated
Bibliography”?. One of the unique aspects of online annotation (and online writing in general) is the
ability to include multimedia elements in the composition process. We’ve found many teachers and
students excited to make use of animated GIFs in annotation. The use of images can simply be
representative (this is a reference to Lincoln with a photo of the 16th president), but more advanced
students can be taught to think about how images themselves make arguments and serve other
rhetorical purposes. After that first year, I decided to question my own reading practices. What do
critical readers naturally do? How do we question the text, make predictions, see patterns unfold?
When I crack open a work of fiction or journalism, I go in with an inquisitive mindset. I expect the
text to be challenging and thrust me into a world that is unfamiliar. I assume that I will need to get to
know the characters the way I would get to know a new friend. I question the context and study-up
on the historical background. I seek out patterns of ideas, which ultimately lead me to discover
themes, symbols and motifs. What I didn’t realize was that these were skills many of my students
lacked. They went into a text expecting it to be confusing without understanding that they could
make sense of the pieces of the puzzle through their own inquiry. Each CommonLit text comes with
a customizable Annotation Task. These are short, text-specific instructions for annotating designed

lenses that can be used to get at the heart of this text. No comments yet! Add one to start the
conversation. To simplify the development of the controlled language, we decided to create a
composite grammar. We developed separate rule sets and vocabularies for each annotation type (e.g.,
referral, cultural, historical, linguistic, etc.) based on sample sentences found in the critical
annotations written by Lajos Hopp. For example, to create language rules for reference type
annotations, we analyzed internal and external references already present in the annotations, and
developed a grammar model that suits them. It’s back-to-school season and I find myself once again
encouraging teachers to discuss course readings with their students using collaborative web
annotation technologies like Hypothesis. Though relatively new to Hypothesis, I’ve been making this
pitch for a few years now, but in conversations with educators of late I’ve come to realize that we
often mean different things by the word “annotate.” Annotation connotes something distinct in
specific subject areas, at different grade and skill levels, and within certain teaching philosophies.
This will be the first semester during which Hypothesis has an active education department and so in
the spirit these first days of the school year, I thought it might be worth exploring what we really
mean when we say, “annotate.” After analyzing the most common sentences found in already
existing critical annotations, we observed that, in most cases, they have a simple grammatical
structure describing relations (e.g., a section refers to a place, a person, a bibliographical entity, etc.),
definitions (a word refers to a concept defined elsewhere), factual knowledge (e.g., a word is a noun

strategies to make the most of every writing assignment you receive: Critical annotations are a
primary knowledge source when researching one’s oeuvre. They are created by literary researchers
who have a deep knowledge of the author, the oeuvre and the literary, cultural, geographical and
historical era when the works were created. Make sure to maintain fluidity in your thoughts and
opinions. Be prepared to make adjustments as you learn new ideas through discussions with others
or through additional readings. You can discuss and debate in person or online, in real time or
asynchronously. One advantage to written online discussions and debates is that you have an
archived copy for later reference, so you don’t have to rely on memory. For this reason, some
instructors choose to develop class sites for student collaboration, discussion, and debate.

called “digital geographical edition” [6] uses a geographical apparatus layered over a base critical
edition to tackle geographical knowledge. Safaryan et al. aimed to store a critical edition in a graph
database to ensure long-term preservation and maintenance [7]. Cheema et al. [8] proposed to
organize and visualize annotations such as mind maps, and to attach data from distant reading
techniques to them. Processing the critical annotations using knowledge-based techniques or creating
a knowledge base from these research notes is a rather unexplored field of research. 0
