An annotation is a note or commentary added to a text or document, typically to provide additional information, explanation, or analysis. Annotations are often used to highlight key points, clarify complex concepts, or offer personal insights. They can be found in academic papers, books, and digital media, and are used to enhance the understanding and interpretation of the original material.
An annotation is a brief summary or commentary added to a legal document, such as a statute, regulation, or case law.
