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.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).
The local unique identifier annotatesResource is used to demonstrate the providers
available for Annotation Ontology. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below.
A guide for curating additional providers can be found
