For the accurate creation of annotation information in a free-form annotation environment, the ambiguity that arises in the
analysis stage between the geometric information and annotations needs to be resolved. Therefore, this This paper identifies,
analyzes, and proposes presents solutions methods for the ambiguity that can occur between free-form marking and various contexts
in XML-based annotation environment. The proposed method is based on context which includes various textual and structure
information between free-form marking and annotated part. Therefore, the proposed method show that the annotated portions
areas included in the free-form marking information are more accurate, achieving more accurate exchange results amongst multiple
users in a heterogeneous document environment.
