Re: [web-annotation] Relationship between Motivations and Actions (from schema.org)

> yes ... I have too the feeling that the Motivation is used by the 
community as workaround for the missing hierarchy of annotation types 
and even body types. 

Which is completely intentional. We started out with subClasses and 
ran in to all sorts of problems:

* Multiple bodies and/or targets mean for multiple subClasses
* Lack of a way to determine that the resource is an Annotation 
without inference on community specific ontologies
* Harder to align between communities with a strict class hierarchy 
compared to skos, which is designed for conceptual semantic alignment 
(via close,exact,etc Match)

As this is working as expected and no new information is being brought
 to the table ... I propose close wontfix.
