* Finally, can we think of these functions as a layer on top of mere archives, and construct them as a physically separate service?

Addressability is a first technical barrier:
* Being able to construct links between multiple representations of the same documents
** Across mirrors (same content, same addressing scheme, different location)
** Across types of archive browsers (some may have further annotations, all may have different addressing schemes, all will have different locations)
* Being able to identify existing references/annotations by detecting such links
** E.g. via Twitter/Google search

* Need a shared addressing scheme that works across archives, archive browsers
Addressability is a first technical barrier:
** Based on permalinks?
* Being able to construct links between multiple representations of the same documents
** Definite goal: to place links. Ability to send reader to the source material
** Across mirrors (same content, same addressing scheme, different location)
** Optional goal: simple API. Ability to load source material by forming an address. (This places more requirements on the nature of the archive of the respective source material.)
** Across types of archive browsers (some may have further annotations, all may have different addressing schemes, all will have different locations)
* Alternatively: need a method of translating between different addressing schemes
* Being able to identify existing references/annotations by detecting such links
** Start with a review of link structures of a wide spectrum of archives
** E.g. via Twitter/Google search
* Should publish best practises for a good addressing scheme
 
** Document the structure of individual addressing schemes

** Publish recommendations for addressing schemes, terminology used: common conventions
