Abstract: Systems and methods of social annotation of a single evolving visual representation of a changing dataset are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the method includes generating a visual representation of a dataset at an initial time and automatically updating the visual representation of the dataset to reflect the dataset at a changed time through an algorithm that applies changed values between the dataset at the initial time and the dataset at the changed time while maintaining a previous calculation of an unchanged portion of the dataset at the initial time. The method further includes generating an alert when the change status indicates that the underlying data has changed beyond the threshold tolerance range. The method further includes placing a note associated with a first user on the visual representation.
