Abstract
A method, data conferencing system, and storage medium for inserting an annotation made by a node of a data conferencing system having a plurality of nodes, wherein only one node at a time is an arbiter node. According to a preferred embodiment, the node inserts at an index for indexing an indexed object a container object for containing the annotation. If the node is not the arbiter node, then the node requests to be the arbiter node. If the node is the arbiter node, then the node determines whether the current indexed object is identical to the container object. If the current indexed object is not identical to the container object, then the node merges the annotation with the current indexed object and deletes the container object.
