annoterade

Annoterade is the past tense form of the Swedish verb annotera, meaning to add notes, comments, or explanations to a text, dataset, image, or other material. The verb denotes the act of providing additional information or marking up content to clarify, categorize, or highlight elements.

In Swedish usage, annotera appears in academic, bibliographic, and data-annotation contexts. It is common in scholarly writing, software documentation, and corpus linguistics, as well as in digital humanities and machine learning projects where data are labeled or enriched with metadata. The related noun form annotation (annotering) and the adjective form annotated (annoterad) are frequently used to describe materials that have undergone the process.

Etymology and related forms: annotera derives from Latin annotare, meaning “to mark, note,” through European language routes and into Swedish. The simple past tense is annoterade, while the perfect tense is har annoterat. Passive past constructions include annoterades, and the adjectival form annoterad describes something that has been annotated.

Illustrative examples:

- Forskarna annoterade texten med tematiska koder. (The researchers annotated the text with thematic codes.)

- Vi använder en annoterad version av manualen för att följa instruktionerna. (We use an annotated version of the manual to follow the instructions.)

- Texten har annoterats av granskaren. (The text has been annotated by the reviewer.)
