Identifying vs Describing media URI fragments

Dear all,

I would like to start a discussion on this topic that could further 
precises the scope of a media URI fragment specification. I would 
distinguish the identification versus the description of a media URI 
fragment.

The identification refers to the syntax with which we construct a 
fragment URI. The description refers to the semantics of this fragment. 
Silvia proposed in the Media Annotation UC [1] the possibility to label 
a fragment (e.g. the kiss scene) for being able to refer to. Is this 
label still an identification of the fragment or a description? Do we 
consider that describing a media fragment is out of scope of this WG?
