Specifically, the use case scenario is that other programmers can hook
in to the highlighted text via the note annotation. In academic literature
suites, users can then search their highlighted text, manipulate it in
various ways, or add to it. For example, in Docear, when it is used with
a PDF viewer that supports the standard way of handling highlighted,
imports the highlighted text and "automagically" makes it part of a
mind map. See the attached for a visual implementation of copying
highlighted text in to a note.
