ActivityPub
ActivityPub integration was mentioned couple of times.
We could use it for different scenarios:
- Graphing fediverse comments on specific issues (similar to the twitter research on fake news)
- Using the ActivityPub protocol (which is quite verbose)
What I recently found out about are web annotations:
- https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/
- https://mastodon.social/@benpate/114184136689819896
- https://github.com/ThisIsMissEm/annotations-service
Imagine someone creating a corpus, performing search in GGTX. What you get is a list of docs with links. You open up links and can annotate the pages directly, in a federated manner. Our current "annotation" mechanism is about selecting term type, but I with web annotations we could not only map the term type but add commenting functionality.
Worth mentioning that there is also https://hypothes.is
Anyways, these are just ideas left in this ticket for further discussion.
