The Annotation Vocabulary provides commonly used annotation properties for documentation to facilitate understanding.
https://www.omg.org/spec/Commons/20220501/AnnotationVocabulary.rdf version of this ontology was modified to normalize the use of rdfs:isDefinedBy for SKOS and Dublin Core annotations (COMMONS-1).
Note that any of the annotation properties provided in Dublin Core can be used in addition to those declared herein. However, Dublin Core terms that are not explicitly defined herein must be declared explicitly as annotation properties in the ontologies that use them.
The annotation properties defined below are derived from similar annotation vocabularies used in (1) the Object Management Group (OMG) specification metadata - see http://www.omg.org/techprocess/ab/SpecificationMetadata/, (2) annotations used in the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) - see https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Utilities/AnnotationVocabulary/, and (3) other ontology efforts such as the NIST-sponsored Industrial Ontology Foundation (IOF).

This annotation is typically used to describe an artifact such as a controlled vocabulary, ontology, or other similar resource.
party that has made contributions to the resource
legal document giving official permission to do something with the resource
date on which the resource was most recently revised
primary party responsible for making the resource available
indicates a related resource that is referenced, cited, or otherwise pointed to by the described resource
provides nformation about rights held in and over the resource
related resource from which the described resource is derived
The intent is to provide a user with a reference as to how the thing being annotated was derived or arrived at. The source can be a URL to a standard, common dictionary (e.g., Collins, Merriam-Webster, Oxford), a formal reference such as an ISO standard, or similar reference. Or it can be a short description of a source from which the entity being annotated was derived.
formal name given to the resource (artifact, such as a controlled vocabulary or ontology)
This annotation is typically used to describe an artifact such as a controlled vocabulary, document, ontology, or other similar resource.
note describing a modification to a resource
formal statement of the meaning of a resource
note for an editor, translator, or maintainer of the controlled vocabulary or ontology
illustration of the use of some resource
preferred lexical label for a resource, in a given language
note that helps to clarify the meaning of something within the context of the intended use of the resource
designation formed by omitting parts from the full form of a term that denotes the same concept
Chemical Symbols: H, O, Mg; Units of Measure: Km, Kg, G
Abbreviations can be created by removing individual words, or can be acronyms, initialisms, or clipped terms.
ISO 1087 Terminology work and terminology science - Vocabulary, Second edition, 2019-09
ISO 31-0 Quantities and units - General principles
The symbols for quantities are generally single letters of the Latin or Greek alphabet, sometimes with subscripts or other modifying signs. These letters, including those that are members of the Greek alphabet are not symbols for the purposes of this ontology, however, they are abbreviations. Expressions of chemical formulae may, however, include a combination of abbreviations and symbols, as needed to define a given quantity.
abbreviation that is made up of the initial letters of the components of the full form of a term or proper name or from syllables of the full form
Examples of acronyms are: laser, ISO, GATT, UNESCO, UNICEF
Acronyms are frequently pronounced syllabically. It may be useful to use this property for generation of acronym lists.
document or other source from which a given term (or its definition) was adapted (i.e., is compatible with but not quoted); the range for this annotation can be a string, URI, or citation
This annotation should be used to indicate that a reference was used, for example, as input to the development of a definition or term but would not be considered infringing on a copyright.
exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the same
quoted reference for the subject resource; the range for this annotation can be a string, URI, or bibliographic citation
note that provides additional explanatory material for a resource
definition in the form of a formal expression, such as the mathematical or logic representation, for the resource
abbreviation that is a design or mark, or other non-alpha-numeric character(s) conventionally used to represent something, such as a currency or mathematical sign or operator
designation that can be substituted for the primary representation of something
note that provides information about how a given resource is used or may be extended
