We didn't have any current proposal for serialization of rich annotations, so this is intended to move from 0 to 1. > What benefits does this split serialization provide? The intent was to allow, with relatively simple tooling changes, for there to be two "spaces" over which to reason, one for the domain, and one for the annotations. Each file can be separately fed to a standard reasoner, checked for consistency, queried, etc. In that sense it tries to meet some of the use cases for annotation spaces, but with what I hoped would be considered a conservative proposal. > I have a number of other questions, but I don't think that there is > any reason to discuss these other questions until the two-file > question > is discussed.
