AMIE: An annotation model for information research

Abstract

The objective of most users for consulting any information database, information warehouse or the internet is to resolve one problem or the other. Available online or offline annotation tools were not conceived with the objective of assisting users in their bid to resolve a decisional problem. Apart from the objective and usage of annotation tools, how these tools are conceived and classified has implication on their usage. Several criteria have been used to categorize annotation concepts. Typically annotation are conceived based on how it affect the organization of document been considered for annotation or the organization of the resulting annotation. Our approach is annotation that will assist in information research for decision making. Annotation model for information exchange (AMIE) was conceived with the objective of information sharing and reuse.
