AGGREGATING DOCUMENT ANNOTATIONS

Technologies pertaining to annotation aggregation are described herein. A user of a computing device assigns an annotation to a portion of a document, wherein the annotation comprises a tuple. The tuple comprises semantic relationships amongst words or phrases in the document. Relationship data is also generated, wherein the relationship data identifies the document, the author of the document, the author of the annotation, and other data. The annotations and relationship data are transmitted to a data store, where such information is aggregated with other annotations made by other annotators to various documents, thereby creating a network of knowledge
