Annoteeritud

Annoteeritud is a term originating from the German word "annotieren," meaning to make notes or add explanations. In essence, it refers to something that has been annotated, meaning it has been accompanied by additional information, explanations, or comments. This annotation can take various forms, depending on the context.

In academic and literary contexts, an annotated bibliography is a list of citations for various sources, but each citation is followed by a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. These annotations summarize the content of the source and assess its relevance and usefulness for a particular research topic. Similarly, an annotated edition of a text provides commentary, explanations of difficult passages, historical context, or biographical information about the author.

In the field of computing and software development, annotated code refers to source code that includes comments explaining the purpose of different sections, functions, or variables. These comments are not executed by the computer but are intended for human readers to understand the logic and structure of the program. In data science and machine learning, annotated data involves adding labels or tags to raw data to make it understandable for algorithms. For example, images might be annotated with descriptions of their content, or text might be labeled with sentiment. The core idea across all these applications is to enhance understanding and provide additional context to the original material.
