Two strategies have been used to obtain accurate annotations: corporeal annotation and micro-annotation.
Moreover, users of Hypermedia Berlin are able to add micro-annotations by geo-tagging points, lines, and polygons, such as Motzstrasse 48 in the year 2003, or the northwest corner of Leipzigerstrasse and Wilhelmstrasse from 1920 to 1945.
A "micro-annotation” that says “my grandmother lived here from 1910–1987” participates in a “writerly” project of memory that the participatory architecture of Web 2.0 applications has made possible.
The core functions of Online Behavior Interactive Module are as follows: creation of learning cell knowledge content, collaborative edition of knowledge content, comparison about the evolutionary versisons of knowledge content, full-text annotation, paragraph micro-annotation, resource evaluation, resource review, semantic information management, resource semantics associations, learning activities, learning tools, personal space, friends management, knowledge ontology construction, knowledge networks, interpersonal networks, social knowledge networks, semantic tag annotation, semantic searching, community learning and interaction, tools for aggregating resources, etc.
