[web-annotation] Additional terminology issues: relationship, property, instance...

iherman has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation:

== Additional terminology issues: relationship, property, instance... 
==
This, I believe, is related to the (still missing) terminology section
 of issue #140 

The document makes a difference between "Relationship" and "Property".
 This comes from the RDF ancestry, differentiating between a Literal 
and Object Property. Whilst that differentiation makes sense for RDF, 
of course, I wonder whether it makes sense in the JSON version. After 
all, everything that is on the left hand side of a ":" is a "name" in 
JSON parlance... On a similar vein, we also have the differentiation 
between "Class" and "Instance". 

We should consider: 

* Do we need all these terms (in JSON)? Can't we get away with, say, 
only properties?
* If we do need these different terms, then they must be clarified in 
the terminology section.
