Abstract

The paper presents an integration and visualization service to enhance the use of annotations and to empower the role of the user and research community in the archival context. We show how this service allows us to address the interoperability between diversified digital archive and annotation systems. Furthermore, it propels the use of annotations to enhance the user experience and to exploit the archivists expertise both in the description and consultation phases.
