A technique for context-dependent annotations to database views may include receiving a query including a data selection criterion for retrieving data from a commercial data store, identifying a first view containing a first data set based on the query, displaying a result from the query to a user, and receiving annotation content from the user linked to data in the first view including view-related information to reconstruct the result as displayed to the user when the annotation content was received. The technique may also include receiving a query for a second view of the commercial data from a second user, where the second view includes at least a portion of the first data set, and presenting the second view of the commercial data to the second user, together with any of the annotation content associated with the portion of the first data set included in the second view.

Context-dependent annotations to database views

A first view of commercial data is presented to a first user. A data selection criterion is received from the user. A first data set is identified based on the selection criterion. Annotation content is received from the user. The annotation content and the first view of the commercial data is associated with the first data set. A query is received for a second view from a second user, in which the second view includes at least a portion of the first data set. The second view is presented to the second user, together with the annotations associated with the portion of the first data set included in the second view.
