RMTool: Annotations

When investigating reflexion models that summarize many structural interactions, it is also difficult for an engineer to track which interactions in the reflexion model, and more specifically, which contributing source model values to a reflexion model arc have been investigated. The annotation operation on a reflexion model helps an engineer track the exploration by recording arcs that have been investigated along with notes describing the relevance of the arc to the task (or high-level model). A visual indication of the effect of annotations is provided to the engineer in a displayed reflexion model by labeling any annotated reflexion model arc with the number of annotated source model values. The annotation numeric value is provided in addition to the number of contributing source model values typically shown on a reflexion model arc.
