So, to put it in code:

<Anno1> a oa:Annotation ;
    oa:hasBody <Body1> ;
    oa:hasTarget <SpTarget1> .

  <SpTarget1> a oa:SpecificResource ;
    oa:hasSelector <Svg1> ;
    oa:hasSource <
http://www.w3.org/community/openannotation/wp-content/themes/ttfv/img/logo.png>
.

  <Svg1> a oax:SvgSelector ;
         a cnt:ContentAsText ;
    cnt:chars "<circle cx="10" cy="20" r="10"/>" .

If I want to say that the image has been annotated while part of the Open
Annotation Community page:
http://www.w3.org/community/openannotation/
Could I add something in the oa:SpecificResource instance pointing to that
page?

Agree
