No. OWL2 allows for axiom annotations, but these tend to look fairly  
ugly in RDF (due to reification).

If you wanted to support some inference with those, you may want to  
try Pronto:

Pavel and I are looking for test data.

We also used axiom annotations to associate probabilities with  
assertions, see:
	http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Annotation_System
esp.
	http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/ 
Annotation_System#Probabilistic_extension

You might also look at my reificaiton table:
	http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Reification_Alternatives

Unfortunately, no one has added any examples or even really exhibited  
interest :)

You can see the data uri trick:

Pavel and I would be interested in that work.

Hope this helped.
