A usually‐purposeful association of bodies and·or Motivations with another thing.

Annotations, in their most common uses, link resources to other resources, with the resources being linked from provided as their bodies and the resources being linked to provided as their targets. The Annotation as a whole may be motivated by a Motivation. When an Annotation is motivated by a Motivation, bodies might not be present (if the Motivation provides all the necessary information itself).

Despite the name, it¦s important to understand that an Annotation is essentially just a motivated collection of links, and this class may be used anywhere a motivated collection of links is desired.
