9. A method for displaying at least one annotation linked to at least one field of a graphical user interface or at least one data object in a networked computer system where a plurality of independent entities access the networked computer system, the method comprising steps performed on at least one processor comprising: updating the graphical user interface or data object, wherein the at least one annotation comprises information regarding the update; transmitting the updated graphical user interface or data object to a workstation of at least one entity of the plurality of independent entities of the networked computer system to be displayed on the display of the workstation; recognizing the at least one entity of the plurality of independent entities to which the graphical user interface is transmitted; recognizing the at least one field of the graphical user interface or the at least one data object to be displayed has at least one annotation linked to both the at least one entity of the plurality of independent entities and the at least one field or at least one data object; fetching the at least one annotation linked to the at least one entity and the at least one field or at least one data object; and transmitting the at least one annotation linked to the recognized entity to the workstation, wherein the at least one annotation may be displayed on the display of the at least one workstation or stored in a memory of the at least one workstation for display, wherein the transmitting of the updated graphical user interface or the data object includes transmitting indicia that the at least one field of the displayed graphical user interface has at least one annotation linked to the at least one field or data object, wherein the at least one annotation is transmitted to only the recognized at least one entity of the plurality of entities.
9. A method for displaying at least one annotation linked to at least one field of a graphical user interface or at least one data object in a networked computer system where a plurality of independent entities access the networked computer system, the method comprising steps performed on at least one processor comprising: updating the graphical user interface or data object, wherein the at least one annotation comprises information regarding the update; transmitting the updated graphical user interface or data object to a workstation of at least one entity of the plurality of independent entities of the networked computer system to be displayed on the display of the workstation; recognizing the at least one entity of the plurality of independent entities to which the graphical user interface is transmitted; recognizing the at least one field of the graphical user interface or the at least one data object to be displayed has at least one annotation linked to both the at least one entity of the plurality of independent entities and the at least one field or at least one data object; fetching the at least one annotation linked to the at least one entity and the at least one field or at least one data object; and transmitting the at least one annotation linked to the recognized entity to the workstation, wherein the at least one annotation may be displayed on the display of the at least one workstation or stored in a memory of the at least one workstation for display, wherein the transmitting of the updated graphical user interface or the data object includes transmitting indicia that the at least one field of the displayed graphical user interface has at least one annotation linked to the at least one field or data object, wherein the at least one annotation is transmitted to only the recognized at least one entity of the plurality of entities. 10. The method of claim 9 wherein the recognizing step further comprises recognizing a type of annotation linked to the at least one field, where the type of annotation is selected from a group of annotation types consisting of: text, image, audio, video, audio/video, or a combination thereof.
