What is Annotation
1.
The term
annotation
refers to any extra information included within a document that denotes or references a particular point being made by the author(s) in an argument. Typically,
annotation
s are placed in the margins of a printed book page, and can be added by either readers or the original authors. For this reason, they often mark a point of necessary discussion between readers and writers on a specific topic. Digital media formats continue to develop better methods of including
annotation
s online or on mobile devices.

2.
Annotation
is extra information for document or piece of information. It is usually generated by readers of original information, reflecting the use (understanding, interpreting, commenting, etc.) of original information.
Annotation
s are affiliated to original information, but not vice versa.

“A remark attached to a particular portion of a document, and covers a broad range in literature… Web
annotation
is crucial for providing not only human-readable remarks, but also machine-understandable descriptions, and has a number of applications such as discovery, qualification, and adaptation of Web documents” (Hori, Ono, Abe, & Koyanagi, 2004, p. 2).

12.
An
annotation
is extra information that is associated with some data, usually a document or website. Common uses of
annotation
are keywords associated to images that aid retrieval or comments about the quality of (parts of) the document in question. An
annotation
is normally added after the creation of a document and mostly created by other people than the initial author. The verb 'to annotate' refers to the process of adding an
annotation
to some document. An
annotation
is a special kind of meta-data, distinguished by the property of mostly being added later; however, the difference between
annotation
and meta-data is not clear cut.
