Web-annotator/API interaction scenarios
TODO (general): add example XML serializations of requests/responses to serve as basis for (modifications of) the schemata
Authentication
- User logs-in to annotation service, so the UID gets known by the server.
TODO: Add to API the "who-am-I" service that allows the user to obtain his/her UID and list of notebooks(read and write), incl. their id's and rendering names.
Visiting an annotated web page
- User: visits the page <...>.
- Client: requests the lists of annotations to which the user has "read" access.
- GET api/annotations?source=<...>&access=read
- Service: returns list of annotation id-s with the corresponding headlines, notebooks, owners, and target sources URI's (TODO Olha: example XML +schema of the respond).
- Client: Resolving fragments (mapping) happens after the response. There are two internal lists for the client: the resolvable and unresolvable target.
Viewing an individual annotation
Resolvable target
- User: selects an annotation with "at least one resolvable" (debatable) target for reading.
- Client: retrieves the annotation
- GET api/annotations/<aid>
- Service: returns the annotation
- (Olha, to do: XML of the respond)
Unresolvable target
- User: select an annotation with unresolvable targets for reading.
- Client: get annotation and its target sources
*GET api/annotations/<aid> (Olha, to do: example XML+schema of the respond, for all 4 calls),
- GET api/annotations/<aid>/sources
- Client: get cached representations for target sources
- GET api/sources/<sid>/cached
- GET api/sources/<sid>/cached/<cid>
Annotation creation
- User: creates a text note on a selected text.
- Client: sends the annotation to the server
- POST api/annotation (Olha, to do: input example XML+schema of the body, like in the example)
- Service: responds with the annotation <aid>, with temp id-s replaced by the permanent ones, the full URI for the target sources, action:create cached representation.
- Client: sends cached representation
- POST/api/cources/<sid>/cached
- Service: store representation
