System for Linking to Documents with Associated Annotations
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for use with an annotation system:
- wherein the annotation system includes first data for annotating a manifestation of a first instance of a first XML document;
wherein the first instance of the first XML document is served by a document system;
wherein the annotation system is functionally independent of the document system;
wherein the first data includes a first XML document identifier for the first XML document;
wherein the first data is uniquely identified by a first Unique Annotation Link Identifier (UALI);
wherein the document system is configured to respond to a request containing the first XML document identifier with a manifestation of a second instance of the first XML document;
the method comprising;
(A) receiving a first request containing the first UALI;
(B) issuing a second request to the document system, wherein the second request contains the first XML document identifier; and
(C) in response to the first request containing the first UALI, manifesting the first data in connection with the manifestation of a second instance of the XML document.

Abstract
An annotation system includes first annotation data for annotating a manifestation of a first instance of a first XML document. The first instance of the first XML document is served by a document system. The first annotation data includes a first XML document identifier for the first XML document. The first annotation data is uniquely identified by a first annotation data identifier. The document system is configured to respond to a request containing the first XML document identifier with a manifestation of a second instance of the first XML document. The annotation system: (A) receives a request containing the first annotation data identifier; (B) issues a request containing the first XML document identifier to the document system; and (C) in response to the request containing the first annotation data identifier, manifests the first annotation data in connection with a manifestation of a second instance of the XML document.

9. A computer system comprising at least one computer-readable medium tangibly storing computer program instructions, wherein the computer program instructions are executable by at least one computer processor to perform a computer-implemented method for use with an annotation system, wherein the method comprises:
-
wherein the annotation system includes first data for annotating a manifestation of a first instance of a first XML document; wherein the first instance of the first XML document is served by a document system; wherein the annotation system is functionally independent of the document system; wherein the first data includes a first XML document identifier for the first XML document; wherein the first data is uniquely identified by a first Unique Annotation Link Identifier (UALI); wherein the document system is configured to respond to a request containing the first XML document identifier with a manifestation of a second instance of the first XML document; the method comprising; (A) receiving a first request containing the first UALI; (B) issuing a second request to the document system, wherein the second request contains the first XML document identifier; and (C) in response to the first request containing the first UALI, manifesting the first data in connection with the manifestation of a second instance of the XML document. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
