    Returns:
    
    content id
  - sameAnnotation
```
default boolean sameAnnotation(Annotation other)
```
    Do two instances represent the same underlying annotations?
    That is do they have the same id, even if the rest of the data is different.
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - the annotation to test against
