Letter of Intent: 4/26/2011
Proposal: 5/17/2011
Awards: Up to 4 projects, $30,00-$45,000 each
The Open Annotation Collaboration (OAC) project is pleased to announce a Request For Proposal to collaborate with OAC researchers for building implementations of the OAC data model and ontology. The OAC is seeking to collaborate with scholars and/or librarians currently using and/or curating established repositories of scholarly digital resources with well-defined audiences of scholars. The OAC intends to fund a set of four projects that are complementary in content media type and use cases that leverage the OAC Data Model to the fullest extent, and that leverage existing annotation tools or at least have articulated an interesting scholarly annotation use case.
Two of the successful Respondents will collaborate with OAC researchers at the University of Maryland and the other two will collaborate with OAC research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. (For these collaborations, Illinois and Maryland will provide guidance on the implementation of the OAC data model and ontology, help in defining extensions of the data model that might be necessary, advice on existing tools that might be adaptable for the demonstration experiment, feedback on correctness of mappings from/to native annotation formats and/or annotations created.)
