                             receiving one or more annotations associated with the digital                    
                      image;                                                                                  
                             categorizing the one or more annotations based on an                             
                      annotation characteristic of each annotation; and                                       
                             displaying the digital image on an operator interface, wherein                   
                      the categorization of the one or more annotations associated with the                   
                      digital image at least partially determines a display characteristic of                 
                      the one or more annotations associated with the digital image.
