Annotation Guide:

Term Label: An rdfs:label that provides a human-readable description of a resource.
Term ID: An ontology IRI (e.g., FOODON:00001002) or the PURL (e.g., http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/FOODON_00001002).
Ontology: The ontology the term is being requested for - e.g., GenEpiO, FoodOn, ENVO, OBI... This guide is not an exact match for a term request at a specific OBO Foundry ontology, but will give you useful guidance and practice for common annotations.
Alternative Label: "A label for a class or property that can be used to refer to the class or property instead of the preferred rdfs:label. Alternative labels should be used to indicate community- or context-specific labels, abbreviations, shorthand forms and the like." [IAO:0000118]
Exact Synonym: "An alternative label for a class or property which has the exact same meaning than the preferred name/primary label." [hasExactSynonym]
Narrow Synonym: "An alternative label for a class or property which has a more specific meaning than the preferred name/primary label." [hasNarrowSynonym]
Broad Synonym: "An alternative label for a class or property which has a more general meaning than the preferred name/primary label." [hasBroadSynonym]
Definition: "The official definition, explaining the meaning of a class or property. Shall be Aristotelian, formalized and normalized. Can be augmented with colloquial definitions." [IAO:0000115] - if you aren't sure how to meet this requirements, don't fret - give a definition and the ontology curator will restructure it to meet the definition requirements.
Definition Source: "Formal citation, e.g. identifier in external database to indicate / attribute source(s) for the definition. Free text indicate / attribute source(s) for the definition." [IAO:0000119]
Database Cross Reference: For when you want to cross reference with another database identifier (e.g., MIxS, MESH, etc.) [hasDBXref]
Additional Comments (not an annotation): Additional context is valuable to ontology curators to ensure the changes they make are appropriate for your need. If the curator deems it necessary, they may include it as a "comment" [comment] or "editor note" [IAO:0000116] annotation.
