description: 'The Annotation Ontology specification is currently used as input for
  the activities of the http://www.w3.org/community/openannotation/''>W3C Open Annotation
  Community Group that works towards a common, RDF-based, specification for annotating
  digital resources. The Group effort starts by working towards a reconciliation of
  two proposals that have emerged over the past two years: the http://code.google.com/p/annotation-ontology/''>Annotation
  Ontology and the http://www.openannotation.org/spec/beta/''>Open Annotation Model.
  Initially, editors of these proposals will closely collaborate to devise a common
  draft specification that addresses requirements and use cases that were identified
  in the course of their respective efforts. The goal is to make this draft available
  for public feedback and experimentation in the second quarter of 2012. The final
  deliverable of the Open Annotation Community Group will be a specification, published
  under an appropriate open license, that is informed by the existing proposals, the
  common draft specification, and the community feedback. [from homepage]'
