        Preserved from prior description (commit 6e634651):

        A typed note with optional provenance metadata.

        **Purpose**:
        Notes provides a reusable class for representing documentation notes
        across the heritage custodian schema. Supports typed notes (appraisal,
        arrangement, conservation, etc.) with language tagging and dates.

        **Ontological Alignment**:
        - **Primary**: `skos:note` - general note
        - **Close**: `rdfs:comment` - comment on resource

        **Use Cases**:
        - Appraisal notes documenting retention decisions
        - Arrangement notes documenting physical organization
        - Conservation notes documenting treatments
        - Processing notes documenting archival workflow
        - General documentation notes

        **Replaces**:
        - `appraisal_notes` (string) - now typed with note_type
    annotations:
      custodian_types: '["*"]'
      custodian_types_rationale: Generic notes class applicable to all types.
      custodian_types_primary: null
      specificity_score: 0.3
      specificity_rationale: Broadly applicable generic class for documentation notes.
    
    examples:
      - value: |
          note_type: appraisal
          note_content: "Retained all policy files; destroyed duplicate copies and routine correspondence per retention schedule RS-2020-05"
          note_date: "2024-03-15"
          language: en
      - value: |
          note_type: arrangement
          note_content: "Maintained original order by correspondent. Created 5 series by function. Rehoused into acid-free folders and boxes."
          note_date: "2024-06-01"
