Abstract

The Web development encouraged different organizations and individuals to expose their multimedia documents on the internet. Additionally, the migration to web 2.0 offered users the chance to comment and annotate the contents of these multimedia documents. Museums and libraries are particularly interested in users’ feedback and work, because many collections, such as handwritten manuscripts, are still puzzles for archivists. Therefore any feedback concerning these contents will be welcomed. This article focuses on the design and the implementation of a web archive. The main objective is enabling users to annotate easily and remotely manuscript documents using web 2.0 application. User annotations are considered important to enrich the archive contents with essential information nevertheless not all users are experts in the manuscript domain. Accordingly, users need a kind of assistance during the search and annotation processes. The proposed assistant in our archive is a recommender system; it relies on registered traces of the user interaction with the documents to generate suggestions.
