This is useful if you are annotating many documents that are in the same domain. Note, that if you have just started the Annotator and are working with a brand new document, this list will be empty. When you select an ontology from the first list, this list displays all of the elements of that ontology. Of these fields, only the URL is optional, but until there becomes a standard database of common SHOE ontologies, we highly recommend that you always specify it. Claims A claim is statement made by an instance.
Instances can make claims about themselves or other instances.
Instances can be assigned categories to say that they have something in common with other instances of the same category. Relations are used to describe properties of instances or to state that they are related to other instances. Each relations has two or more arguments, where each argument is a property or another instance. In the Claims window, all of the claims are organized by the subject of the claim. Technically, the subject is either the instance of a category or the first argument of a relation.
