Re: Representing annotation goals

Hey Rob, 

Thanks for the help!

The issue is that they’re all highlights in my case (as oa:TextQuoteSelector), so would it make sense to do something like this?

new:interesting a oa:Motivation
 skos:inScheme oa:motivationScheme ; 
 skos:broader oa:highlighting ; 

 <urn:uuid:...> a oa:Annotation ;
    oa:hasBody <http://example.com/document#annotation <http://example.com/document#annotation>> ;
    oa:motivatedBy new:interesting ;
    oa:hasTarget <http://example.com/document <http://example.com/document#annotation>> ;

 <http://example.com/document#annotation <http://example.com/document#annotation>> a oa:SpecificResource ;
    oa:hasSource <http://example.com> ;
    oa:hasSelector <urn:uuid:x> .

<urn:uuid:x> a oa:TextQuoteSelector ;
    oa:exact “..." ;
    oa:prefix “..." ;
    oa:suffix “...” .

Where (though skos schema’s as described here http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/appendices.html#ExtendingMotivations <http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/appendices.html#ExtendingMotivations>) the highlighting motivation is extended to be “interesting” or whatever the user defined?
In reality these annotations can be far more semantic than just commenting or remarking. Eventually the idea is to let the user define highlights from (biomedical) ontologies, so parts of scientific publications can be annotated with well-defined concepts.
For example in publications regarding clinical trials one might want to highlight specific parts of the text where the phenotypes expressed with SNOMED-CT or the Human Phenotype Ontology. 

What would be the preferred way of expressing such a “highlighting with a concept” relation in OA?


Kind regards,
Joël
