The present disclosure relates to a non-transitory computer readable medium for a separate context viewing, organization, and management area for annotations that have been created. The rationale for such computer readable medium is discussed in detail. These annotations can be created on webpages or PDF documents available at a uniform resource locator (URL) anywhere on the World Wide Web. Once these annotations are created, having a system to manage the life cycle of these annotations in various contexts separate from the original web page is beneficial. This annotation life cycle and the rationale for various steps within this life cycle is discussed in detail. The present disclosure also describes some pertinent filtering and display technologies for annotations that have been created.
