An annotation is a summary made of information in a book, document, online record, video, software code or other information, "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.Janani You are So Good
Software programming
In software programming, annotations are used mainly for the purpose of expanding code documentation and comments. They are typically ignored when the code is compiled or executed.
eg. A markup language(XML/HTML) is a modern system for annotating a text in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from that text
Source Control
Annotate aka Blame is a function used in Team Foundation Server to determine who commited changes to the source code into the repository. A person, who is annotated, is blamed for committing changes to the source code into the repository which cause the program to fail or behave in an unintended fashion.
Computational biology
Since the 1980s, molecular biology and bioinformatics have created the need for DNA annotation.
For DNA annotation, a previously unknown sequence representation of genetic material is enriched with information relating genomic position to intron-exon boundaries, regulatory sequences, repeats, gene names and protein products. This annotation is stored in genomic databases as Mouse Genome Informatics, FlyBase, and WormBase. Educational materials on some aspects of biological annotation from this year's Gene Ontology annotation camp and similar events are available at the Gene Ontology website.
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology (www.bioontology.org) develops tools for automated annotation of database records based on the textual descriptions of those records.
Imaging
In the digital imaging community the term annotation is commonly used for visible metadata superimposed on an image without changing the underlying master image, such as sticky notes, virtual laser pointers, circles, arrows, and black-outs (cf. redaction).
Law
In the United States, legal publishers such as Thomson West and Lexis Nexis publish annotated versions of statutes, providing information about court cases that have interpreted the statutes. Both the federal United States Code and state statutes are subject to interpretation by the courts, and the annotated statutes are valuable tools in legal research.
Linguistics
In linguistics, annotations provide the results of an analysis of linguistic form. This can include information about morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse, or general information. Other forms of annotation include comments and metadata; these non-transcriptional annotations are also non-linguistic. A collection of texts with linguistic annotations is known as a corpus (plural corpora). The Linguistic Annotation Wiki describes tools and formats for creating and managing linguistic annotations.
