Annotation of foreign literature. Purpose and types of annotations
Annotation (from Lat. Annotatio - remark) is an extremely brief summary of WHAT you can read about in this primary source. The annotation (as secondary text) lists the main issues; problems outlined in the primary text, and can also be characterized by its structure. When annotating, an analytical-synthetic processing of primary documents takes place. It consists of a semantic analysis of a text, isolating units of information, evaluating this information and its synthesis in a very brief form. This is a creative process that requires a common understanding, reproduction and generalization of the content of the original source and the design of the corresponding annotation.
