Re: My opinion about hydra vocabulary

Hi!

I just now decided to use annotations. I tried to avoid that, but I rather
use annotations than static properties and methods or class names as
strings...

Yes, I wanted to separate resources and representations and describe both
in the metadata, but I think describing the representations and generate
