SWRL rules lose axiom annotations on entity rename

[martinjoconnor]

It appears that if I interactively rename an OWL entity used in a SWRL rule that I lose any annotations attached to that rule.

For example, if I start with the following rule with three annotations

  <rdf:Description>
       <swrla:isRuleEnabled rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#boolean">true</swrla:isRuleEnabled>
       <rdfs:comment rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">Comment for s1</rdfs:comment>
       <rdfs:label rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">S1</rdfs:label>
       <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2003/11/swrl#Imp"/>

and rename an entity it uses I get the following:

   <rdf:Description>
       <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2003/11/swrl#Imp"/>

I enclose a simple ontology with two classes, A and B, and two rules A(?x) -> and B(?x) ->.

If I rename A or B the associated rules seem to lose their annotations (such as their name and comment annotations). Rules that do not contain entities that have been renamed are fine. This can be seen by saving the file after renaming and find that the annotations have disappeared from the rules containing renamed entities.

Underlying OWLAPI bug (owlcs/owlapi#501) fixed. Awaiting upgrade to next release of OWLAPI to close.
