Re: May a Specific Resource be object of the oa:hasScope relationship ?

Hi Rob,

hmm, you're right. It does not really solve my problem. But may be, I 
can live with a certain level of weakness.

So, if I want to keep may construction using oa:hasScope to express my 
use case, what I get is only a weak relationship between the scoped body 
and the sptarget.
It says something like, "when the annotator created that body, he was 
examining the part of the document which was selected within the scoped 
sptarget."
Then, it is up to the application how it will interpret that kind of 
"hint". It is up to the application to decide, if it wants to respect 
the potential intentions of the annotator creating that body while 
examining a specific part of the target. Or, to not respect them and 
then possibly visualize some nonsense to the client user.

Is that a correct interpretation of what I would get if i kept my 
construction like it is ?
