I've had the following from Uli Sattler on the subject of annotations: [[ it would be nice to hear if you would agree that OWL 2 having annotations that allow to - have annotations on annotations and - have subproperty, domain, and range on annotationproperties would be a good thing -- even if no semantics of these would be specified.... ]] The current situation is that the OWL WG are unlikely to have sufficient resources to define a powerful annotation solution with syntax and semantics, but think that it is feasible to provide such added features (without a detailed semantics) now. This would allow, for example, the use of SKOS properties for annotations, while staying in an "OWL-DL" fragment. My guess is that for most applications, this would be fine as the annotations are likely to be relatively simple without the need for much expressiveness other than querying for subproperties. I'd like to put this on the agenda for a brief discussion at next week's telecon please.
