Rob-- I'm confused by your answer. http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/#Motivation says that only subclasses of oa:Annotation are motivations. Doesn't this require that if Jacco's "roles" are to be considered motivations, then they must be modelled as subclasses, such as the AssociatedPersonClass you say he doesn't need?
