dcterms:abstract """The Annotation Vocabulary provides commonly used annotation properties for documentation to facilitate understanding.
Note that this ontology defines a property hierarchy for a number of external annotations, including SKOS and Dublin Core annotations, to show how they relate to one another, although the semantics of OWL ignore this. Doing so emphasizes how the annotations are intended to be used and assists with integration in cases where different ontologies use different annotations and/or approaches.""" ;
