Abstract:
This disclosure describes a method and apparatus for annotating and sharing a digital object with multiple other digital objects. The invention presented addresses these deficiencies by defining a mechanism and apparatus for taking a digital object, be it a text document, still image, or other object, and allowing annotations associated with that digital object to be both authored and consumed by multiple sources in a collaborative environment. Further, the invention provides mechanisms for controlled consumption of the annotation, and the solicitation and reservation of annotation between multiple users.
