Annotation does not affect the visualization of the transcription, but simply adds
information in the background and allows one to link the portion of the annotated
text to another page, where, for example, a user can add a biography of a person.
Users may also want to use the collaborative functionalities offered by
MediaWiki, which are also fully operative on GATE. Each page on GATE is associated with a ‘Discussion’ or ‘Talk’ page where users can open threads as in a forum,
where they might give their interpretation about the text of a document, or ask for
help during a transcription, or simply ask for assistance about the use of GATE. This
might well be considered one of the most powerful features of GATE, because it
fosters discussion among users and allows them to actually work as a research
community.
21.4 Angelo Secchi Bibliography
The goal of the Angelo Secchi bibliography is to record all the publications about
Angelo Secchi and his contribution to science. The starting points for this collection
of bibliographical information are the bibliography by the Jesuit László Polgár
(1990) and the annual bibliography published in the journal Archivum Historicum
Societatis Iesu since 1980. This work is still ongoing and up to now only 39 entries
have been recorded.
The bibliography can be queried by anyone, and all entries are listed in a table
available on the homepage of the bibliography section.

Each entry also has its own
page, with some additional data including, when available, a link to a digital version
and the possibility of opening discussions about it.
Users with an account can also contribute to the bibliography by adding new
entries. Thus, after checking that an entry has not yet been recorded, a user who is
logged into the homepage of the Angelo Secchi bibliography can click on ‘Angelo
Secchi bibliography form’ link

and on ‘To create a new entry click here’. This will
open the bibliography form to be filled in with bibliographical data such as author(s),
title, year and type of publication, language,

etc. As for any other contribution on
GATE, all records can be edited without limit if someone should notice a mistake in
the bibliography.
