- Annotation
An annotation is a summary made to information in a book, document, online record, video, software code or other information. Commonly this is used, for example,
in draft documents, where another reader has written notes about the quality of a document at a certain point, "in the margin", or perhaps just underlined or highlighted
passages. Annotated bibliographies, give descriptions about how each source is useful to an author in constructing a paper or argument. Creating these comments, usually
a few sentences long, establishes a summary for and expresses the relevance of each source prior to writing.
