It is not necessarily a technical issue. It is also not necessarily extraneous data. If all original authorities were open to adding links to any annotations then there wouldn't be an issue, but as they are not necessrily that open to the idea, it would be nice to emphasise that they do not have to be involved in the process. Sure it is simpler if they do... > If no, then neither Y nor Z are discoverable from anywhere in the LD > web, and there's no need to mint these URIs in the first place. I don't see why Y and Z shouldn't link to each other, if they know about each other. It may be a social issue still, as the independent annotations may still not accept each other. Cheers, Peter
