Review of signature based content

摘要

Briefly, in accordance with at least one embodiment, a content creator/editor may have content reviewed by one or more reviewers. The content may include one or more signatures or characteristic values to correlate an annotation of the content made by one of the reviewers with respect to a flow of time of the content. The content creator/editor may generate a review file for the content and send the review file to the reviewers. The reviewers may provide annotations to the content with respect to the flow of time of the content, where the annotations may be correlated to the content via the signature or characteristic values of the content, and the reviewers may store the annotations independent of the content. The review process may be managed independent of a managing server where the content creator/editor may generate a review file and send the review file to the reviewers using a client content creation and editing software program on local machine of the content creator/editor. The reviewers may receive the review file, which may include content or the content may be streamed to a local machine of the reviewers using a client review program to manage the obtaining and reviewing of the content. The reviewers may generate annotations of the content independent of content and save them in a file that is sent back to the content creator/editor for aggregation of the annotations and selective viewing of the annotations of the content.
