Abstract:

Epigrammar is a cloud-based software application that lets users on a multi-user access document retrieve annotations from closed files for reuse on an open file and retrieve annotations from closed files for reuse on a new document (i.e. log). When users or authorized users make an annotation (called an, “Epigram,” online) on some file that has been shared to Epigrammar in any file format, that annotation and its relevant data are stored in a general repository providing context for the note. Thus, users never need to open an annotation's corresponding file in order to recover valuable information. Due to mapping information stored in the form of x- and y-coordinates, the precise point of any annotation may be found by selecting any annotation from a general inventory of annotations to facilitate activity online. That portable and searchable repository serves as both a navigation tool and index, and with features for tagging and automatically organizing notes, Epigrammar centralizes document annotation online.
