Re: Annotation entailment?

Actually I am not sure if it is wanted. The use case was that I have two 
ontologies from different sources, and one has some labels in Spanish, 
the other in English. Now I map the ontologies by using owl:sameAs, 
owl:equivalentClasses, and owl:equivalentProperties.

Do the labels carry to the mapped entities? I have the feeling that they 
should.

On the other hand, if I use the annotation properties to give some 
administrative data about the URIs -- introduced by, last changed on, 
etc. -- then it feels wrong.

So, really, I don't know what the correct answer is. I hoped that there 
would be a definitive answer in the spec, but I didn't yet look it up. I 
will check out Boris' paper, too.
