Re: Recording geolocation of the annotation (where the annotation has been created)

Hi,

I'm not from PROV, but have two brief comments:

1. WGS84 is good for expressing co-ordinates for a location resource

2. What are the use case for geo-locating annotations and linking the annotation to a location resource? Are they so common, and specific, that you would have to handle them by introducing a new property in OA? I'd be tempted to just rely on any general solution for recording any user-generated events...

Best,

Antoine
