First Claim
1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- inserting a reference including a unique identifier to a supplemental content item into a primary document, wherein the supplemental content item is derived from an original content item;
deriving an annotated supplemental content item from the supplemental content item, wherein the annotated supplemental content item includes at least one annotation and a subset of content from the supplemental content item and a plurality of annotations and the reference references a sequentially first annotation in the annotated supplemental content item;
designating another unique identifier for the annotated supplemental content item;
inserting another reference including the another unique identifier of the annotated supplemental content item into the primary document, wherein the reference is a link and wherein the unique identifier is a globally unique identifier or a hash of a filename; and
assembling the primary document, the supplemental content item, and the annotated supplemental content item into a structured electronic document by converting a format of the primary document to another format and locking the structured electronic document to prevent further editing.

Abstract
An embodiment of a method includes receiving a selection of an original content item, deriving a supplemental content item from the original content item, designating a unique identifier to the supplemental content item, and inserting a reference including the unique identifier into the primary document. A system includes a candidate content item repository having one or more content items that can be included in a structured electronic document, a copy module configured to derive a base supplemental content item from a selected one of the candidate content items and further configured to designate a unique identifier for the base supplemental content item, and a document editor configured to receive the unique identifier and insert the unique identifier into a reference to the base supplemental content in the primary document.

7. A computer-implemented system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer readable memory having embodied thereon; a candidate content item repository having one or more content items that can be included in a structured electronic document; a copy module configured to derive a base supplemental content item from a selected one of the candidate content items and further configured to designate a unique identifier for the base supplemental content item and to derive an annotated supplemental content item from the base supplemental content item wherein the annotated supplemental content item includes at least one annotation and a subset of content from the base supplemental content item and a plurality of annotations and the reference references a sequentially first annotation in the annotated supplemental content item; a document editor configured to receive the unique identifier and to insert the unique identifier into a reference to the base supplemental content in a primary document and to insert another reference including another unique identifier of the annotated supplemental content item into the primary document, wherein the reference is a link and wherein the unique identifier is a globally unique identifier or a hash of a filename; and a structured electronic document manager configured to create the structured electronic document by assembling the primary document, the base supplemental content item and the annotated supplement content item by converting a format of the primary document to another format and locking the structured electronic document to prevent further editing. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to carry out a process, the process comprising:
-
annotating a supplemental content item to derive an annotated supplemental content item, wherein the supplemental content item is derived from an original content item, and wherein the annotated supplemental content item includes at least one annotation and a subset of content from the supplemental content item and a plurality of annotations and the reference references a sequentially first annotation in the annotated supplemental content item; designating a unique identifier for the annotated supplemental content item; generating a reference to the annotated supplemental content item, the reference including the unique identifier for the annotated supplemental content item; inserting the reference into a primary document to link the primary document to the annotated supplemental content item, wherein the reference is a link and wherein the unique identifier is a globally unique identifier or a hash of a filename; and assembling the primary document, the supplemental content item and the annotated supplemental content item into a structured electronic document by converting a format of the primary document to another format and locking the structured electronic document to prevent further editing. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
