Dear all, Apologies in advance if my question is stupid. I'm not following the discussions here a lot... And actually I feel I've been involved in chat about the issues I'm going to raise, but can't find any trace of it... This is about semantic tags, in the case one tags an object with a (SKOS) concept: the current solution [1] presents a form of indirection. I.e. the body of the annotation is now a blank node that refer to a resource (the concept), with a skos:related links between both. In the former Open Annotation spec [2], the body was directly the concept itself. I have two questions: - why the indirection? The OA pattern was simpler, and quite matching the intention of semantic tagging. when one tags, one doesn't create a new concept. - why skos:related? Given the sort of semantic tagging scenarios we (and I believe anyone else) have, the link is much stronger from a semantic perspective. I'd have expected skos:exactMatch.
