Thanks Jason, and sorry for being so late to reply. We are definitely intending to enable the users to link to their annotations and share them outside of the platform, even though I imagine people will need the text itself a lot of the time in order to fully understand what they are saying. In any case annotations will not be locked away. We are still working on the annotations feature and we have just released the discussion-thread options today, so that people can comment on each other's annotations. I'll let you know when they become easily exportable.
At the OAI8 conference at CERN, Rob Sanderson introduced us to the great guys from Hypothesis.is, and we have had some discussions. For a while we considered integrating what they are developing, but in the end we decided that it would be best for us to develop the annotations in-house. Having said that, we are definitely looking forward to what they will be releasing in the future, and follow the discussions within the open annotations community.
