The OWL axioms can be represented following the pattern for annotation type reference set. The Annotation Reference Set allows

 data type to be associated with components for any specified purpose. However, this approach is not specific enough because OWL expressions would be mixed with other types of annotations. Therefore, a new specific reference set type has been defined.

The

 should only represent represents components and their associations to OWL expressions, e.g. definitions specified in OWL expressions for concepts, or information about OWL ontologies of SNOMED CT. This will enable new type of reference set follows the pattern for annotation type reference set, but the content are not mixed with other types of annotations. The new refset supports accurate representation for feeding data into DL Description Logic reasoners, validation of OWL expressions, and creation of OWL ontologyontologies for SNOMED CT.
