The inventive subject matter provides apparatus, systems and methods in which a user could mark one or more sections of one or more documents to create an annotation in a manner to easily enable verification of the annotation. An annotation comprises user-defined data associated with the one or more sections, such as, for example, a summary, a common conclusion, a common quote, a common comment, or a common attribute. For example, a user could select a plurality of sections in one or more documents that all support a common conclusion, and could create an annotation comprising the common conclusion linked to each of the sections. Upon request by a user to verify the annotation, the system can present the relevant sections of the document from which the annotation is derived. |

1. A source verification system, comprising:
a verification database configured to store annotation objects and document objects, wherein each document object corresponds to a source document; and a verification engine coupled to the annotation object database and configured to:
detect an annotation event comprising a user deriving an annotation based on a first section of a first source document and a second section of a second source document;instantiate, in response to detecting the annotation event, an annotation object comprising the annotation,associate the annotation object with a first document object comprising the first source document and a second document object comprising the second source document based on the annotation event, andconfigure a user interface to present the first section of the first source document and the second section of the second source document to a user upon a request to verify the annotation object. |
