@OpenApiAll
public class Annotation
extends java.lang.Object

Annotation is an additional information about particular model element or symbol (target) or any other object. In contrast with annotation target, annotations are not stored in the project. They are rather computed in runtime. This additional information is paint text only: description (text) and short name (kind). Annotations can come from various sources, eg from OCL or some custom validation. Therefore many different annotations can be bound to the same target. Importance of each annotation is denoted by severity level. See AnnotationSeverityComparator for details. Annotations provide ready to use action which user can make eg. in order to fix some problem in the model. Annotation are identified by kind, target, severity and actions - see equals() method for details.
