Interface CustomAnnotationInstance

public interface CustomAnnotationInstance

This interface is intended to represent annotation instances that are not explicitly defined by the MDQ layer. This will allow the use of custom annotations or those outside the scope of the metadata that is intended for use within MDQ. The provider of CustomAnnotationInstances will be responsbile for mapping specific CustomAnnotationInstance implementations to actual annotation types.
