Feedback to authors: This is an interesting paper, and a fabulous data source. I think personally understanding the ways in which annotations persist or are erased through format migration is important and worthy of attention. The conceptual modeling aspect of the paper could be improved by further elaborating on the consequences of the current model in practice. Further, it would be helpful to understand some of what the methods mean (e.g. I don't know that I fully understand 'bibligoraphic inquiry' - does that just mean a lit review?) ... I think this could be an excellent paper.

You might Ch 1 in Suchman's Human Machine Reconfigurations - where she talks about the role of xerox repair manuals in her ethnographic work.

Feedback to authors: This is a thought-provoking abstract—in terms of data source, methods, and potential implications. This is a good fit for the workshop and proposed special issue, and I am excited to hear more findings and implications teased out. I suggest providing additional methodological detail, including (a) how bibliographic/metadata features were selected for analysis and (b) how the methods employed in this paper relate to similar but distinctive approaches—for example, forensic investigations of digital materiality (e.g., Kirschenbaum, 2007: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/mechanisms), or this study of change in complex digital objects, based on reading patch notes: Gursoy et al., 2019, doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-15742-5_38
