/**
 * An annotation which marks a Java class as a container that corresponds to an RDF List.
 * Any Java class with this annotation must satisfy the following design patterns:
 *  
 *    Must have an 'add' method to add the elements of the list. This method must accept a single parameter.
 *   
 Must implement java.util.list, or have a single method whose name starts with "get" and returns an object whose class extends Collection.
