I've deleted the data properties for the identifier class (IAO:0020000), as it seems sufficient to just use the IRI of an identifier for any instance of it and then specify things further using rdfs:comment or owl:sameAs. An identifier can also be further specified by asserting its type according to the available subclasses. grafik

In order to allow a better mapping and to be able to infer the identifier type, there are sub-properties for iao:denotes and also their inverses: grafik
