I'm really just a hack, and a green one at that.

I do annotate news articles on my devices! Doesn't everyone?
I don't read news on my devices, so I don't know,
Quote:
The reason I see volatility with annotations is that I follow a number of blogs that have voluminous commentary, which is constantly expanding. I typically download the "news" feed once a day, and I want to be sure to capture the highlights/annotations from each download of the same blog entry. Then after a period of time I download an anthology of the blog and want to merge all of the highlights back into to anthology. My best hack (and longest bit of python code) was to automate the interleaving of author/moderator responses at the correct positions (directly following) comments which was necessary to make sense of the content when reading on an eReader where it is impossible to scroll back and forth constantly.

OK, I can see the concern. Moving to a separate database for that would be a good idea.

I'd be happy if you were inspired to take any ideas from my annotations hack to extend the Annotations Plugin, because as you say it would be natural to add the generate/export function.
I'm going to park it in the back of my brain and see what it comes up with. My subconscious is a lot smarter than the bit that does the typing.

With regards to News Article Annotations, I've noticed that the Annotations plugin works great with annotations from News "books" that I read on my Kobo, but that it doesn't find annotations for News "books" that I read on my Kindle. Why is that?
I think it is something in how the books are put onto the Kindle. The Kobo devices don't differentiate between news and books. But, I think the Kindle can. Or at least I think that's what Kovid has said when asked.

My long term goal is to enable some serious natural language processing/phrase frequency analysis of my content, initially in the process of capturing content as it is downloaded, then later within arbitrary books in my Calibre database. I'd like to be able to generate Lombardi networks from book bibliographies and other references (URLs/book titles/Authors) I've pulled from web content. Right now I'm just cutting my teeth.
That's very interesting and sounds like lot of work. I'll look forward to seeing the result when finished.

P.S. I lived on several bays around Sydney Harbor for a few years in the late '90s. Wonderful memories of riding the ferries to work every day!
It's a long time since I've been on a ferry. On a nice day, it would be a great way to commute. Though I think I'd be tempted to stay on and go for another ride.
