31  * <p>
32  * Interface that represents the category of annotation properties in an ontology
33  * language. Annotation properties are distinguished in some languages (such as
34  * OWL) - in order to maintain theoretical properties of the language, which depend
35  * on clean separation of syntactic categories. Annotation properties may not be
36  * used in property expressions. There is no guarantee that a given langauge will
37  * have any annotation properties.
