"MONDRIAN: Annotating and querying databases through colors and blocks", Floris Geerts, Anastasios Kementsietsidis, Diego Milano

• Use the concept of BLOCK to represent an annotated set of values and COLORS applied to the blocks to represent different annotations
• the system can annotate both single values and the associations between multiple values
• Does NOT account for negations. Only Select, Project, Join, Union
  

Observations: For an annotation mechanism to be useful in practice

• it should be able to support the annotation of value associations

• we should be able to query values and annotations alike (in isolations and in unison)
