The partnership builds on the foundations laid by the publication of [web annotation as a standard](https://web.hypothes.is/blog/annotation-is-now-a-web-standard/) by the W3C, the pioneering work by Hypothesis to build an open annotation infrastructure, and by COS to offer OSF, a comprehensive platform for open scientific research and publication. The official release from Hypothesis is [here](https://web.hypothes.is/blog/hypothesis-live-on-cos-osf/). ### Recent News ![Center for Open Science](https://www.cos.io/hubfs/Logos/COS%202024/cos-full-tag-h-w.png) 6218 Georgia Avenue NW, Suite #1, Unit 3189 Washington, DC 20011 Email: [contact@cos.io](mailto:contact@cos.io) - [* *Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/cos.io) - [* *Mastodon](https://fosstodon.org/@CenterforOpenScience) - [* *Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/company/center-for-open-science/) - [* *YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@CenterforOpenScience) **Join our mailing list** [![Creative Commons License](https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Unless otherwise noted, this site is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
