COMMONS13 — Annotation Vocabulary missing discussion of labeling policy

Little best practice or guidance is given in either the spec or the ontology. By the fact that they're included it seems that skos:prefLabel and skos:altLabel are recommended. However they're not actually used in this or any of the other Commons ontologies.
Commons itself provides an alternative with its Designations ontology. And OMG provides a strong capability in MVF.

Users of Commons should be warned about the anti-pattern use of rdfs:label as the primary in conjunction with skos:altLabel which makes it impossible, with reasoning enabled, to return only the primary (since skos:altLabel; is a subProperty of rdfs:label)

The RTF determined that adding notes to each of the subproperties of rdfs:labels to indicate the issue with queries that use entailment may return multiple labels was sufficient to address this issue.
