Annotation: A note or comment added to a text, image, or other type of media to provide additional information, explanation, or interpretation. Annotations can be used to highlight important points, clarify confusing passages, or offer insights into the author’s intentions or the historical context of the work. They may be written by the original author or added by a reader or editor. Annotations can be found in a variety of contexts, including academic research, literary analysis, and digital media.
Annotation refers to the act of adding notes, comments, or explanations to a document or text. In legal contexts, annotations may be used to provide additional context or analysis to a statute, case law, or other legal document. Annotations may be created by legal professionals, scholars, or other experts in the field, and may be used to aid in legal research, analysis, or interpretation. Annotations may also be subject to copyright protection, depending on the nature and extent of the original work and the annotations themselves.
