"cite" and 'author of a quote'

Dear Ivan and Doug,
I believe the previous discussion 'Annotation Serializations' is becoming a
little dense and hard to follow.

I am isolating here one of the topic of a previous email (
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-openannotation/2014Jan/0049.html)
as I am trying to understand better:

Could you help me understanding a little better what you are referring to
for 'cite' and author of a quote and what you would like to accomplish with
OA?

If I look at the <note> first snippet in the wiki
http://www.w3.org/community/openannotation/wiki/Serializations my
understanding is that Doug is annotating a quote in the document
http://example.com/sourcedoc.html . Therefore the target is a particular
snippet of that page and the author of that snippet is 'Vannevar Bush'.

If that is the case, the JSON-LD in the wiki
"hasTarget": "http://example.com/sourcedoc.html"
is not accurate as it referring to the whole document.
It should be

 "hasTarget": {
        "@type" : "SpecificResource",
       "hasSource": "http://example.com/sourcedoc.html"
        "hasSelector" : {
            .. the quote ..
        }
    }


Doug, do you want to keep track of the fact that the annotation target is
authored by Bush? Or annotating the quote in the target with an annotation
that says that Bush is the author?
