The classical example in our installation is an annotation type 
BioMaterialType used to annotate different BASE items (in BASE1) like 
SampleTissue, Sample, Extract and LabeledExtract.

In BASE2 these are maybe all BioMaterial items with a seperate subtype 
flag, and thus will be ok.

Other examples might be of more general character, with an annotation 
type for pointing to a general resource like a pubmed record, URL, etc, 
that could easily be valid for more than one BASE item. How likely these 
would be MIAME required for some and not for others are more questionable.

Best,
Kjell
