Hi David,
(And cc'ing the Open Annotation list as well)
Yes that looks fine. If the annotation is about the citation, rather
than the paper, then it should definitely target a resource that
identifies the citation. I don't want to comment on the use of Named
Graphs (see [2]) for the citation, that's your field :), but the
annotation modeling looks okay other than the use of dc:description
(see [1]).
The minimally different Open Annotation version would be:
_:anno1 a oa:Annotation ;
oa:hasBody _:commentOnCitation ;
oa:hasTarget <uri-for-citation-resource> ;
oa:motivatedBy oa:commenting .
_:commentOnCitation a cnt:ContentAsText ;
cnt:chars "I'm citing that paper because it initiated this whole
field of research" .
A multi-class solution to reuse your fabio:Comment class might be:
_:commentOnCitation a cnt:ContentAsText, fabio:Comment ;
cnt:chars "..." ;
dc:description "..." .
The relevant parts of the spec are:
[1] http://openannotation.org/spec/core/core.html#BodyEmbed
[2] http://openannotation.org/spec/core/publishing.html#Graphs
Hope that helps!
Rob
