How to create an Annotation?
Usually, annotations are used to add information to entities of the ontology.
They contain useful information such as who is the creator or what are the readable labels
and comments for single elements of the ontology.

To create an annotation, proceed as follows:
- Select an entity in the Ontology Navigator or the Individuals panel.
The entity will be displayed in the Entity Properties panel.
- Go to the Annotations tab.
The annotations will be displayed.
- Create an annotation.
The bottom row of this view the is labeled "Create New".
Fill in appropriate information in these text boxes.
You can also use the auto-complete feature of the OWL perpective.
- Enter an annotation property.
OWL provides a number of built-in annotation properties, e.g.:
- rdfs:label
- rdfs:comment
- rdfs:seeAlso
- rdfs:isDefinedBy
- owl:versionInfo
In addition, you can also create your own annotation properties.
For more information, see
Annotation Properties.
- Enter a value for the annotation.
- Enter a type for the annotation.
The type is either an XML Schema datatype or an RDFS Literal.
- Select a language code for the annotation.
The language code is only available for type rdfs:Literal.
If you select another type, the language code will be removed.
Likewise, the type will be reset to rdfs:Literal once you
select a language code for the annotation.
- Click Add.
The annotation will be created. To discard your changes, click Cancel.
