GiveALink is a non commercial social bookmarking website . It is an academic research project, started at Indiana University Bloomington Indiana University Bloomington , with the goal of analyzing the structure and content of bookmark files in order to build a new generation of Web mining techniques and new ways to search, recommend, surf, personalize and visualize the Web. GiveALink features a search engine which, given a URL, finds other Web pages that people bookmark together with it i.e. similar Web pages . The search engine also supports keyword search and the results can be personalized based on the user s submitted bookmark files. In addition, users can view, organize, augment their bookmarks online, as well as download their bookmark files to several computers. All of the anonymized data at GiveALink is available online to other researchers and Internet users. You can download the URL collection, matrix containing similarity values for pairs of URLs, and the output from several ranking algorithms. Search results can be obtained in XML format through an RSS feed, to help you integrate them into your own applications. GiveALink uses the existing hierarchical structure in bookmark files folders and subfolders , as well as collaborative filtering techniques, to measure similarity between Web pages. This means that if many people put two URLs in the same folder in their bookmarks, then these two URLs are considered similar.

refimprove date April 2010 In metadata , Annotea is an Resource Description Framework RDF standard sponsored by the W3C to enhance document based collaboration via shared document metadata based on tags, Internet bookmark bookmarks , and other annotation s. In this case document metadata includes Keywords Comments Notes Explanations Errors Corrections In general, Annotea associates text strings to a web document or selected parts of a web document without actually needing to modify the original document. Users that access any web documents can also load the metadata associated with it from a selected annotation server or groups of servers and see a peer group s comments on the document. Similarly shared metadata tags can be attached to web documents to help in future retrieval. Annotea is an extensible standard and is designed to work with other W3C standards when possible. For instance, Annotea uses an RDF schema for describing annotations as metadata and XPointer for locating the annotations in the annotated document. Similarly a bookmark schema describes the bookmark and topic metadata. Annotea is part of the W3C Semantic Web efforts. An example implementation of Annotea is W3C s Amaya web browser Amaya editor browser. The current Amaya user interface for annotations is presented in the Amaya documentation. Other projects consists of Plugins for Firefox Mozilla or Annotatio Client which interacts with most browsers per JavaScript.

The project was initially sponsored by the West Nordic Council and launched its web interface under the title VESTNORD in 2002. The web interface has since undergone two major revisions, in 2003 and 2008. With the last revision a decision was made to gradually convert images from the DjVu image format to the more common PDF . Hence, part of the collection can be viewed with the DjVu plugin and part with a PDF reader. The digital collection covers material from the 17th century to the early 21st century and offers users the ability to collect Internet bookmark bookmark s on their free account for ease of use as well as do a text search on the majority of the collection. As of February 2009 there were more than 2,6 million images in the archive of which 2 million had been Optical character recognition OCR ed. Initially the aim was to limit access to newspapers published before 1930 to avoid questions of copyright but shortly afterwards the project made an agreement with Morgunbla i to scan and publish all of their issues to the year 2000. This agreement was followed with others involving both current and defunct newspapers published in the 20th century. Newspapers published after 2000 are usually sent to the library in digital format. The general rule, depending on agreements with each publisher, is to make these available 2 3 years after their initial publication.
