Abstract
This paper describes a set of hypertext linking features that are essential for supporting critical discussion and document annotation, but are missing from the Web. An implementation of these features called "CritLink" enables users to attach annotations to any location on any public page, and to view the annotations on any page, without having to install any special client or server software. All browsers (including text-only browsers) and all operating systems are supported. Annotations can have types, can be public or private, and can annotate other annotations.
