I have come to doubt the need in [1] for the prohibition on multiple Selectors and perhaps for the prohibition on multiple Sources. It is common for us to encounter multiple records in a single data set, each requiring a different Selector and to each of which we must apply the same Body assertions. Similarly, in our environment of replicated data sets having different URIs, we would see the same Selectors against several Sources. My present feeling is that the current Multiplicity mechanisms have no difficulty handling these cases, possibly even the cases of both multiple Selectors and multiple Sources in the same annotation. At the moment, I do not see what arguments there are for these two multiplicity restrictions that are different from the historical ones in [2] for Bodies [1]February 2013 Draft, http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/20130208/index.html [2] May 2012 Draft http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/20120509/index.html Bob Morris -- Robert A.
