So I would rather have the unified meta data as the base, which is conclusive and un-ambiguous and some translator on top. So if you ask for getAnnotation(@Remove) it will look it up in the right meta data repository in the right meta data.

I support the idea of the meta data repository being the source of all questions for an annotation.  So a question on container.resolveAnnotation should go to the metadata repository.
