Description:
Reported by jlc415, Jun 11, 2007

The current spec defines an "entity annotation" as a type of axiom, but other annotations are not 
axioms. Because all axioms can be annotated, this means that it is possible to annotate an entity 
annotation.

This approach complicates the conceptual model of annotations. Either all annotations should be 
axioms, or none should. Meta-annotations should be introduced piecemeal merely based mainly on 
what is easy to encode using the functional syntax.

NOTE that this issue has now subsumed Issue 20 (which was rejected).

Related notes:

2007-10-29 09:06:32: The spec currently makes all top-level constructs in an ontology either an import, an annotation of the ontology, or an axiom. It probably would be better to divide axioms into true axioms, declarations, and entity annotations.

Perhaps it would be even better to combine entity annotations and declarations, as they have many of the same purposes.

Another possible changes would be to allow annotations of annotations. [Peter Patel-Schneider]
