Comment (by dshanske):

 Well, trackbacks begot pingbacks which begot webmentions yes. Trackbacks
 were not verified(security issue) and they set what they expected the
 remote site to display. Neither trackbacks or pingbacks have been used
 effectively in WordPress, because the displaying of both is less than
 useful.

 Webmentions are a way of notifying one site that you've linked to it, like
 its predecessors, but let's take Annotations. You could use webmention as
 a medium to tell another site that it has been annotated. The receiving
 site(the one being annotated), would then retrieve the data, even if in
 the JSON format outlined, parse it, store it, and display it.

 It is a core piece of the Indieweb, whose website you cited above, except
 that group(of which I am a part), uses microformats as opposed to JSON or
 such. So, basically HTML is our API.
