Re: F2F Decision: Multiple Resources

...but couldn't this already be done in the model by annotating the initial
multi-body (oa:Choice) annotation? More specifically, couldn't we annotate
one of the choices and use the context predicate "oax:annotatedIn" to
capture the annotating an annotation bit?

It seems like this might be very useful for your use case where, if we were
to model the different distinct possibilities as one oa:Choice, you could
then add an annotation targeting one of the objects of an oa:item predicate
within that choice, e.g., 'this is our default choice and here is why', and
use oax:annotatedIn to denote that this annotation noting a default choice
and the reasoning why (i.e., the evidence), was made in the context of an
oa:Choice.

The modeling is complex but it seems like this would service the needs of
your use case without adding additional properties to the specification.
Does that seem sensible? Seems like there are some other ways to do this
too, including adding additional properties.

Jacob
