Website Excerpt Validation and Management System

The inventive subject matter provides apparatus, systems and methods in which a user could mark one or more sections of one or more documents to create an annotation in a manner to easily enable verification of the annotation. An annotation comprises user-defined data associated with the one or more sections, such as, for example, a summary, a common conclusion, a common quote, a common comment, or a common attribute. For example, a user could select a plurality of sections in one or more documents that all support a common conclusion, and could create an annotation comprising the common conclusion linked to each of the sections. Upon request by a user to verify the annotation, the system can present the relevant sections of the document from which the annotation is derived.
