Abstract
A technique for indexing data in a network having a plurality of network stations is disclosed. In one embodiment, the technique is realized by receiving a data identifier at a first of the plurality of network stations from a second of the plurality of network stations. The data identifier is then stored at the first network station. The first network station then receives an annotation from the second network station, wherein the annotation is associated with the data identifier. The annotation is then stored at the first network station in association with the data identifier.
