"Understanding Great Works” is the working name for the research tool being developed by the JSTOR Labs team to connect primary texts with secondary scholarship using web annotations, initially explored in our Understanding Shakespeare and Understanding the US Constitution projects. Now we are building a processing pipeline and infrastructure enabling the same text-matching processes to be performed at scale using existing standards (such as the W3C Web Annotation data model and protocol) and best practices for web annotation. Our goal: make it possible for virtually any primary text to be linked via annotation to any number of corresponding scholarly works.
