It messes the message of Specific Resources, by letting one think semantic tags can be obtained by "refining" a source, the same way that other specifiers do. But in the case of semantic tags of course there's nothing analogous to selectors, states, etc. Which shows well in your example: there's only oa:hasSource attached to your tag, which renders a bit absurd the use of the SR pattern.

Well, I don't have strong opinion on this. I believe we can do without and that oa:Tag is enough, but others apparently don't think so...

In http://www.w3.org/community/openannotation/wiki/Bookmarking_and_Tagging_a_Webpage#Open_Annotation_Representation
[
ex:spres1 a oa:SpecificResource , oa:SemanticTag ;
    oa:hasSource MGI:88059 .
  
ex:spres2 a oa:SpecificResource , oa:SemanticTag ;
    oa:hasSource OMIM:104760 .
]
should be imo:
[
ex:spres1 a oa:Tag ;
    foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf MGI:88059 .
  
ex:spres2 a oa:Tag ;
    faof:isPrimaryTopicOf OMIM:104760 .
]

With the above caveat: I am not strongly against having SemanticTag instead of oa:Tag, if others believe it is absolutely necessary.
