That's who, not why. The Gene Ontologies evidence codes are and
references are much closer. 

Also, I am not sure of the semantics of reification. Does it mean "I
made this statement", "I believe this statement" or "I am the person
responsible for the evidence on which this statement is based". All
three are independent I think.
