ISSUE-32 (complex annotations): REPORTED: How to accomplish complex annotations http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/tracker/issues/ Raised by: Peter Patel-Schneider On product: Reported by kearon.mcnicol, Jun 22, 2007 We have numerous parts to our ontologies that require more complex annotations than a simple datatype triple. How should we achieve this in OWL 1.1? For example, we need more advanced labelling functionality than rdfs:label. e.g. we need to state geographic areas where a label is used to refer to a class. In OWL 1.0 we accomplish this using an annotation 'object' property that refers to an individual of our labelUsage class. In this way we can also reason on (and therefore) manage our hundreds of thousands of labelUsage individuals. Until we know how to accomplish at least this minimum, we are nervous about moving from OWL 1.0 to 1.1. Please advise.

You can, if you want, have an annotation in OWL 1.1 whose value is an individual is a member of labelUsage. The only difference (I think) is that in OWL you have to name this individual.
