I'm fine with some other name besides `motive`… `role` is the one that I have a problem with. I think I'd even prefer `intent`, even with the possible association with Web Intents. (For reference, see http://www.webintents.org/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/web-intents/. Their initial list of intents was `Share`, `Edit`, `View`, `Pick`, `Subscribe`, and `Save`… mostly different than ours.) Alternately, we could change both `Motivation` and `role` to `motive`, and have consistency throughout. Or, drop `Motivation` from the Annotation root. (I'm not trying to raise controversy, but I'm not sure that there was strong consensus on having both `Motivation` and `role`… it was rolled in as part of a larger decision. I'm also not saying we necessarily should drop `Motivation`, just that a short discussion to validate that decision would be useful.) So, more generally, I'm saying we have some options here; I'd prefer we not use the term `role` because it's both overloaded and a misnomer (as motivations are currently defined). -- GitHub Notification of comment by shepazu Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/112#issuecomment-158542544 using your GitHub account
