Re: Annotation body a transcription of the target

Dear Simon,
a clarification question. So your options are:

1.
hasBody [ chars: "Placename"; rdf:type: "pelagios:Toponym" ] .

2.
hasTranscription [ chars: "Placename"; rdf:type: "pelagios:Toponym" ] .
hasTranscription rdfs:subPropertyOf hasBody .

3.
hasBody [ chars: "Placename"; rdf:type: "pelagios:Toponym" ; rdf:type 
"TranscribedPlace" ] .

4. (no transcription)
hasBody [ rdf:type: "pelagios:Toponym" ] .


Structure-wise these are very similar and I can see no advantage or 
disadvantage. I think it is a matter of convention.
Is there a best practice?

All the best,
Sebastian
