Hi, > Hi Lutz, > > That's not possible. The semantics of a oa:Composite is that *all* of > the resources apply. Yes, that is what I need. I want that all Specific Bodies will be applied. But I need to prevent, that each body is applied to all Specific Targets. Only to that target identifying the data record element, the user entered the specific comment stored in that body for. Beyond that, an annotation in our use case can comprehend multiple data record elements which we can not be subdivided in multiple annotations, because the are semanitcally related to the context of that one annotation (e.g. Geolocations). Also, they are entered by the user all together as a single annotation to a data record. I expected, the hasScope property as an adequate means covering exactly those relationships, considering it like a kind of "if"-clause (if context then apply body). Obviously, I misinterpreted that property. Unfortunately, I do not see any other options in the current spec to express that use case. So, looks like either I apply this in my domain specific way but OA unconformant way, or I do have to invent my own "body language" in terms of a dataset, defining a list of XPath expression - value pairs and let clients apply that list to the source document. Hmm, would be also highly domain specific and .... bad news. May be, does anybody have an idea to make our use case conformant with OA 1.0 ?
