[Biocorba-l] Composite annotations (was: BioObjects)

[Juha Muilu]

Thanks Thomas for the correction! I made a mistake because in BSANE
Features inherit from the Annotation and I was trying to achieve your
feature composition where Feature inherits from the FeatureHolder
perhaps in too general level...

How people model the tree like annotations i.e. like the GO stuff ?
