Annotation has become a common practice when interacting with digital documents, allowing the addition of information to existing data without corrupting them. Restricting visibility of annotations to groups of users, as usually enforced in enterprise collaboration systems, turns annotations into a tool for focused collaboration among users with common interests.
The aim of this special issue is to collect and put into dialogue theoretical, methodological, critical, and applied contributions dealing with the variety of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) uses in community development. In this introduction to the special issue, we first provide the readers with a quick overview of the field, conducted by analyzing the lexicon of titles and abstracts published in the past few years in information and communication technology for development journals.
