Federated Linked Attention Data Publishing
Proposer: Ronen Tamari
Basic idea: enable users to easily post linked data of a particular kind pertaining to their reactions to content (maybe it could be called “linked attention data” , Discord discussion)
Motivation: For broad motivation, see paper/video/thread. And more concretely for our project, many researchers already post such “attention information”, e.g., the Tweet below.

This information can be very valuable for driving content search and recommendation but it gets lost since (1) it isn’t easily machine readable (2) it gets posted to walled platforms with data access issues.
A possible goal for this project could be a helper app that with the click of a button (maybe a browser extension) would (1) produce some kind of machine readable representation appended to the natural language version of the post (2) publish it using ActivityPub (AP) or other related network (3) possibly mirror it to Twitter if so desired.
Another possible client implementation could be a Zotero plug-in. For example, moving an item to a particular folder or adding a particular note/tag to it could trigger the corresponding AP publishing event.
Regarding data schema we can possibly use http://Schema.org schemas such as ReactAction, ReviewAction
