           Summary: Annotation elements in trace file do not appear in
                    details pane of provenance browser
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: mcphillips at ecoinformatics.org
        ReportedBy: mcphillips at ecoinformatics.org
         QAContact: kepler-dev at ecoinformatics.org


The provenance browser shows the details for the selected data or collection
element of a trace in the lower left-hand panel.  When the element selected has
been annotated with one or more Metadata elements, these appear as name-value
pairs under the heading "Annotations" in that panel. However, if an
*Annotation* element has been applied to the selected element, it is not
displayed.

Annotation and Metadata elements should both appear in the details panel,
probably under two distinct headings, 'Metadata' and 'Annotations'.  

(Note that the distinction between metadata and annotations in COMAD is that
the former are reserved for things that have always been true about the item it
is associated with, while the former can be used for any purpose. 
Consequently, Metadata elements cannot be deleted or replaced during a COMAD
workflow run, while Annotation elements can be.)
