How might bf:Annotation function to treat an individual occurrence of a
particular property as the target of an annotation?
Such granular targets would often be necessary in a linked data
environment where we hope to be readily exchanging a little bit of data
here, there, and everywhere. The postponed issue of provenance seems to
require such granular annotation for provenance to be meaningful in a
linked data environment. If our automation systems would already be doing
all that they should do for us, we should already have provenance for MARC
records provided automatically without any necessary human effort at the
individual occurrence of every field, indicator, and subfield.
I can imagine that such granular annotation for BIBFRAME could function
inline if bf:Annotation could be the property of any other BIBFRAME
property. Yet, how would such granular annotation work as an external
annotation to provide a target for bf:annotates?
Do individual occurrences of a particular property have implicit
identifiers in the context of a bf:Resource (bf:Work, bf:Instance,
bf:Authority, or bf:Annotation) or would it be necessary to add an
identifier to the property for the particular occurrence of the property
to function as a target?
How would such granular annotation function for any individual occurrence
of any RDF property using the Open Annotation Data Model,
http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/ ?
"BIBFRAME Annotation Model - BIBFRAME Community Draft - 30 April 2013 -
bibframe.org/documentation/annotations/ " describes some thinking by the
early experimenters about annotation prior to annotation having been added
to the vocabulary.
The addition of annotation to the vocabulary provides little additional
information without additional notes and with code examples broken by some
bug. [Nate Trail explained to me in a simple message perhaps mistakenly
sent offlist that if code examples have supposedly been added to
particular parts of the vocabulary but do not resolve properly on the
relevant vocabulary pages, then there is a bug.]
Target is described under roles, section 2.2, in BIBFRAME Annotation Model.
"Target of the Annotation: A BIBFRAME Work, Instance, or Authority".
Restricting the scope of targets for bf:Annotation to bf:Resources either
inline or using externally using bf:annotates seems unnecessarily
restrictive in a linked data environment.
