We've considered that the "role" in this case is a motivation --
you're creating an association between the resources via the
annotation.  I think, if I understand the question correctly, that the
other information can be covered by simply assigning a class to the
tag?

For example, if you said that (Gustave Eiffel) was a Person, then it's
clear that he's an associated (via the annotation) person, and we
don't need a new class for AssociatedPersonAnnotation.

I would think that Description could be used for the depiction case,
but maybe it would be clearer if there was a separate oax:Depiction
class?

Hope that helps!
