Given a set of ontologies, this composite change will convert all property assertion axioms whose subject is a 'punned' individual (i.e. an individual that shares a name with a class), removes these axioms and replaces them with annotations on the class that shares the same name as the individual. For example for a class A and an individual A, the data property assertion hasX(A, "Val") would be converted to an entity annotation on the class A with an annotation URI of "hasX" and a value of "Val". This composite change supports refactoring an ontology where punning was used to simulate annotations on a class rather than using actual annotations on a class.
