title: Commons Annotation Vocabulary
version IRI: AnnotationVocabulary
change note: 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: 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.
note: 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).

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.

title
type: AnnotationProperty
definition: formal name given to the resource (artifact, such as a controlled vocabulary or ontology)
usage note: This annotation is typically used to describe an artifact such as a controlled vocabulary, document, ontology, or other similar resource.

alternative label
type: AnnotationProperty
sub property of: label
definition: alternative lexical tag for a resource

change note
type: AnnotationProperty
sub property of: note
definition: note describing a modification to a resource

definition
type: AnnotationProperty
sub property of: note

abbreviation
type: AnnotationProperty
sub property of: synonym
definition: designation formed by omitting parts from the full form of a term that denotes the same concept

note: Abbreviations can be created by removing individual words, or can be acronyms, initialisms, or clipped terms.
adapted from: ISO 1087 Terminology work and terminology science - Vocabulary, Second edition, 2019-09
adapted from: ISO 31-0 Quantities and units - General principles
explanatory note: 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.

acronym
type: AnnotationProperty
sub property of: abbreviation
definition: 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
example: Examples of acronyms are: laser, ISO, GATT, UNESCO, UNICEF
note: Acronyms are frequently pronounced syllabically. It may be useful to use this property for generation of acronym lists.
