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. 

Best,
Uri
