Re: bams class style model

Sorry I was unable to attend today's meeting.

Alan reminds me of another question I had re: this BAMS OWL file, John.

I understand why you'd not want to tuck the ID and abbreviation  
values into annotation properties.  Is there a reason not to add them  
as DatatypeProperties?  This would help to make the core subsumptive  
'is_a' graph more meaningful but still keep these values accessible  
to both reasoners and to a SPARQL engine - correct?

Cheers,
Bill
