https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation:

== "Open" or "Web" Annotation ==

There's a mix of the two in the specification documents and we should 
be consistent.

Pro "Open":
  * There's already brand name recognition 
  * There's already implementations and usage of the ontology, which 
we have updated rather than re-designed.
  * The namespace is ns/oa# and it would be good not to change it 
[c.f. danbri and foaf]

Pro "Web":
  * The WG is the Web AWG, not the Open AWG.
  * The protocol and client APIs are not derived from the CG work
