Organizing Web Information

[Woodward Jeannette]

Has anyone on the list heard anything about shared-annotations used 
with Harvest tools as a possible alternative to a central catalog.

I know very little about them but apparently any number of libraries 
could be responsible for their own sets of annotations. The 
annotations would be similar to cataloging records and would be 
attached to the documents they describe. Each library would be 
responsible for maintaining their own annotations and apparently if 
an Internet resource disappeared, the annotation would go with it so 
there would be no dead ends. Most annotation schemes I've read about 
seem to depend on Harvest which would search all annotations or 
selected sets.  


I know next to nothing about this and can't seem to find more.  Has 
anyone run into other information?
