Comment:

Although technically possible in OWL Full, I suggest to /not/ build custom ontology properties. AFAIK, the set of
ontology properties in OWL is intended to be fixed; at least I don't see any encouragement in the OWL documents to
create custom ontology properties. I suggest to make 'attribution' into an owl:AnnotationProperty, instead. The creation
of custom annotation properties is ok. It is also ok to add annotation properties to instances of the class owl:Ontology.
For example, it is quite common to add an rdfs:comment to an ontology.

WG Notes: Formal range restrictions have been removed from the current draft to ensure that attribution elements are owl:AnnotationProperty instances.
