The amateur philosopher in me is tempted to examine the assumption that the first case actually targets the “object per se”, rather than yet another representation of the object. The amateur librarian in me thinks that the object resource and the image resource share a common subject (independent of the annotations), and unifying their annotations during presentation would best be done by linking via the underlying target resources’ shared subject, rather than through the annotations mechanism. I am looking forward to hearing the opinions of non-amateurs, though.
