Support reading of AnnotationProperties for OntologyClasses

Currently only cuds objects could attribute, however sometimes we would like to have an attribute associated with an oclass.

Can you give an example? Should this attribute be defined in the ontology? Do you want to change its value on runtime?

An example would be a translation to German of an oclass name. In OIE, I would like to use it as a 'nickname' for an oclass.

It should be defined in the ontology, and change it during runtime, I imagine would require to introduce an ontology-editing functionality to osp-core, correct?

yes, more or less

I'm sorry, I didn't complete the sentence. I meant, changing it during runtime is not required, as it will add more complexity and the functionality is not really needed (currently).

Another example of how this is useful is to have a list of synonyms of an oclass name.

What do you guys think about this issue? Would be quite helpful for me.
Is this feature supported in OWL?

[urbanmatthias]

There are AnnotationProperties in owl and as far as I understand, that's what you would need:

1. A way to add annotations to a YAML Class --> Update the YAML parser and validator
2. We investigate how these AnnotationProperties are represented in RDF and add the ability to access these from python code.

I've assigned it to @aaronAB1993 for now. But as you know he's on vacation, so if it is more urgent, please comment and reassign.

[yoavnash]

Thanks. Definitely not urgent.

[urbanmatthias]

I renamed it

[yoavnash]

Is this in the docs or is there an example? If so, can you provide a link?

[urbanmatthias]

This is not supported yet, and therefore the is no link.
