Here are some links to annotation mechanisms.

Thank you for this link.
As far as I see, Annotea need a special browser (amaya being the only
one at this time) and a special server.
This is not what we have in mind. The annotating system we want to have
should be able to be used by every visitor (it should be lynx-proof).
Everything Ka-Ping Yee does is worth studying closely. His Crit is the
first public annotation system for the Web. It also doesn't require
anything to be done on the side of the document to be annotated. It's
oriented toward HTML, but if you have a browser that can display XML,
I guess Crit could be adapted to work with it.

The latter link is unfortunately dead, but I got the Software from a Wiki
http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?CritLink
I'll have to evaluate this...
Nevertheless, out student *must* build such a system because we offered
this a a graduate internship to which he applied.

Oh thank you, that's very useful!
