  • Apparatus and method for producing contextually marked-up electronic content
    Publication number: 20020035619
    Abstract: A method of providing contextual marked-up information includes receiving a request from a user for an information resource. The information resource is retrieved. Data in the information resource is converted into inserted user-selectable objects, thereby rendering a converted information resource. The converted information resource is provided to the user. By selecting an inserted user-selectable object, the user secures additional information regarding the inserted user-selectable object. The inserted user-selectable objects augment the pre-existing user-selectable objects that may exist in an information resource. The inserted user-selectable objects are supplied without modifying software at the source of the information resource.
