Annotation and retrieval of personal bookmarks

An electronic system comprising:

• one or more processing devices;
• one or more machine-readable storage devices for storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, by a computing system, a first input associated with a bookmark;
• in response to receiving the first input, obtaining, by the computing system, context data for deriving annotations for the bookmark;
• obtaining, by an annotation engine of the computing system, multiple annotations that are derived using information included in the context data and a transcription of the first input associated with the bookmark;
• generating, by the annotation engine, an importance value for each annotation, the importance value characterizing a relationship between each annotation and at least one of:
• i) the information included in the context data;
• or
• ii) the transcription of the first input;
• generating, by the annotation engine, a set of annotations for retrieving the bookmark, each annotation in the set of annotations being generated from the obtained multiple annotations and each annotation having an importance value that exceeds a threshold value;
• and
• using, by the computing system, a particular annotation in the set of annotations to retrieve the bookmark for accessing a resource page.
