Abstract
A method of encoding on a computer system for information retrieval in an inverted list structure of annotation includes collecting a group of documents and storing them in a digital format, determining a group of annotations referencing the group of documents, and forming a snippet index by grouping the group of annotations by unique annotation identifier. The method also includes forming a snippet dictionary which, for each unique annotation identifier, indexes a corresponding position in the snippet index for the group of annotations having that unique annotation identifier.
