I agree that in the absence of a fuller definition, the property name alone --
"hasCoverArt" -- invites this interpretation, but a name is just a name...
If hasCoverArt were a sub-property of oa:hasBody, I would take it to mean
something like "has-body-that-happens-to-be-cover-art". If that is indeed the
intended meaning, then I do not see an obvious way to convey that notion in a
short property name, so if defined appropriately, the property could be called
"hasCoverArt" and formally mean something like: "the annotation is associated
with cover art of which we can infer, since the property is a sub-property of
oa:hasBody, that it is the body of an annotation".
So I agree that the name "hasCoverArt" is problematic because it implies a
model that is probably not intended. However, a property with this name
_could_ be formally defined in a way that is compatible with what you and Rob
suggest.
