- Text Annotation is the practice and the result of adding a note or gloss to a text, which may include highlights or underlining, comments, footnotes, tags, and links. Text annotations can include notes written for a reader's private purposes, as well as shared annotations written for the purposes of collaborative writing and editing, commentary, or social reading and sharing. In some fields, text annotation is comparable to metadata insofar as it is added post hoc and provides information about a text without fundamentally altering that original text.[1] Text annotations are sometimes referred to as marginalia, though some reserve this term specifically for hand-written notes made in the margins of books or manuscripts. Annotations are extremely useful and help to develop knowledge of English literature.
This article covers both private and socially shared text annotations, including hand-written and information technology-based annotation. For information on annotation of Web content, including images and other non-textual content, see also Web annotation.

The examples discussed in this section have been originally created in various tools other than brat and converted into brat format. Converters for many of the original formats are distributed with brat. In the selection of examples included here, priority has been given to tasks with freely available data.

- QUOTE: This wiki describes tools and formats for creating and managing linguistic annotations. "Linguistic annotation" covers any descriptive or analytic notations applied to raw language data. The basic data may be in the form of time functions - audio, video and/or physiological recordings - or it may be textual. The added notations may include transcriptions of all sorts (from phonetic features to discourse structures), part-of-speech and sense tagging, syntactic analysis, "named entity" identification, co-reference annotation, and so on. The focus is on tools which have been widely used for constructing annotated linguistic databases, and on the formats commonly adopted by such tools and databases.

- QUOTE: The current state of the art in linguistic annotation also divides the different annotation tasks into different levels, which can be arranged into a similar set of layers as shown in Figure 2.2. However, there is only an approximate correspondence between the levels of the tasks performed in practical corpus annotation work and the levels of description in linguistic theory.
| coreference resolution | linking references to same entities in a text |
| named entity recognition | identifying and labeling named entities |
| semantic analysis | labeling predicate-argument relations |
| syntactic parsing | analyzing constituent phrases in a sentence |
| part-of-speech tagging | labeling words with word categories |
| tokenization | segmenting text into words |
| sentence boundaries | segmenting text into sentences |

- QUOTE: This paper presents pilot work integrating machine labeling and active learning with human annotation of data for the language documentation task of creating interlinearized gloss text (IGT) for the Mayan language Uspanteko. The practical goal is to produce a totally annotated corpus that is as accurate as possible given limited time for manual annotation. We describe ongoing pilot studies which examine the influence of three main factors on reducing the time spent to annotate IGT: suggestions from a machine labeler, sample selection methods, and annotator expertise.

- QUOTE: Human linguistic annotation is crucial for many natural language processing tasks but can be expensive and time-consuming. We explore the use of Amazon's Mechanical Turk system, a significantly cheaper and faster method for collecting annotations from a broad base of paid non-expert contributors over the Web. We investigate five tasks: affect recognition, word similarity, recognizing textual entailment, event temporal ordering, and word sense disambiguation.
