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?
