             abstract = "The use of metadata in software development, specially by code 
                         annotations, has emerged to complement some limitations of 
                         objectoriented programming. A recent study revealed that a lack of 
                         validation on the configured metadata can lead to bugs hard to 
                         identify and correct. There are approaches to optimize metadata 
                         configuration that add the annotation out of the target code 
                         element, such as its definition on the enclosing code element or 
                         indirectly inside other annotations. Annotation validation rules 
                         that rely on the presence of other annotations are specially hard 
                         to perform when it is possible to configure it out of the target 
                         element. Available approaches for annotation validation in the 
                         literature consider their presence only in the target element. 
                         This paper presents a validation of code annotations approach in 
                         object-oriented software with location transparency, whereas 
                         definitions can occur in different parts of source code related to 
                         the target element. An evaluation with a meta-framework supports 
                         our hypothesis that the approach is capable of decoupling the 
                         annotation location from the validation rules.",
