METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCESSING ANNOTATION WEB PAGES RELATED TO PRIMARY WEB PAGES OVER THE INTERNET

摘要

A method and system for providing an annotation page (22) associated with a primary file (20) that is accessed over the Internet (14). The method executes the steps of requesting access to the primary file (20) by a client computer (8) and then determining at a list of annotated page server (LOAPS) (6) computer if at least one annotation page (22) has been previously associated with the requested primary file (20). If at least one annotation page (22) has been previously associated with the requested primary file (20), then an annotation index associated with each annotation page (22) determined to be associated with the requested primary file (20) is downloaded from the LOAPS (6) to the client computer (8), and the client computer (8) utilizes the annotation index to request access to an annotation page (22) associated with the requested primary file (20).
