propertyMatch.txt
-----------------
This file can contain a list of valid Annotation property names,
or names separated by tab followed by tag name.  If searching
multiple properties, the list is OR'd. To match class names, use RDF:ID.

Examples:

Match both Preferred Name and FULL_SYN term-names:
Preferred_Name
FULL_SYN	term-name

Match both UMLS_CUI and NCI_META_CUI:
UMLS_CUI
NCI_META_CUI

Match class names (soon to be code):
RDF:ID
