This might be the time to ask if we can have a way to mention alternate URLs. Many target URLs on our (swtr) repo have become stale, either because the URL was temporary as it points to a main page of a newspaper and or it had additional tracking parameters on it when someone used it for creating annotations. Often, it possible to discover either manually or automatically an alternate URL that works and which can be used instead. This DOI discussion brings up such a need again. If we accommodated DOI assignment would it be at the container level as meta-annotations like URL isDOIof URL URLpattern isDOIof URLpattern or as a property of an annotation target: URL body: URL, isDOI target: URL body: URL, motivation:alternateURL, role:DOI *in this case, alternateURL will mean its an alternate string to the URL string other reasons: 301 redirect permalink ... or maybe we considered it out of scope as an extended (json-ld) context can address this independently of the wa model activity. -dinesh On Sat, May 7, 2016 at 9:55 PM, Randall Leeds <randall@bleeds.info> wrote: > > Why not mint a DOI for every annotation?
