bjonnh opened a new issue #21: Ability to use multiple layers of annotation.
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-annotator/issues/21
 
 
   This kind of thing cannot be represented in a DOM easily, unless we have a tree and a way for each tree to just represent the index of the annotations in it.
   
   Working in a DOM:
   <annotation type="important_sentence">The <annotation type="animal">cat</annotation> is on the <annotation type="place">roof</annotation></annotation> 
   
   Not working in a DOM:
    <anno1>.....<anno2>.....</anno1>.....</anno2>   
   
   I was envisionning something similar to (not following any W3C recommendation here, just an idea)
   <text>
   Something is here
   <annotations>
   <annotation_layer><annotation type="verb" start_index="9" end_index="11">is</annotation></annotation_layer>
   <annotation_layer><annotation type="sentence" start_index="0" end_index="-1">Something is here</annotation></annotation_layer>
   <annotation_layer><annotation type="beginning" start_index="0" end_index="11">Something is</annotation></annotation_layer>
   <annotation_layer><annotation type="end" start_index="9" end_index="15">is here</annotation></annotation_layer>
   </annotations>
   </text>
   
   But copying the text over and over is probably not a good idea?
