Re: Web annotations for physical texts

I'm currently doing some linked data work using Web Annotations applied to
physical places, and I'm not seeing any real problems with this (just a
need to be clear what a URI is referring to).  I'm actually finding them to
be quite a powerful tool for capturing contextualised descriptions in
linked data (with a modest additions).
