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.

Abstract: An annotation system receives a request from a requester to perform an operation on first annotation data for annotating a first instance of a first XML document. The operation is at least one of a create, read, update, and delete operation. The first instance of the first XML document is served by a document server component of a document system. The document system is functionally independent of the annotation system. The request explicitly addresses the first annotation data by means of an application programming interface in the annotation system. The annotation system performs the operation on the first annotation data in response to the request.

Abstract: A first instance of a first XML document is served by a document server component of a document system. An annotation system that is functionally independent of the document system semantically analyzes content and structure of the first instance of the first XML document to identify a first instance of a first target for first annotation content, wherein the first target is not text. The annotation system also generates target locating data for locating a second instance of the first target in a second instance of the first XML document. The annotation system stores the target locating data.
