		<p>
			A usually‐purposeful association of bodies and·or <ref target="anno:Motivation">Motivations</ref> with another thing.
		</p>
		<p>
			Annotations, in their most common uses, link resources to other resources, with the resources being linked from provided as their <ref target="anno:hasBody">bodies</ref> and the resources being linked to provided as their <ref target="anno:hasTarget">targets</ref>.
			The Annotation as a whole may be <ref target="anno:motivatedBy">motivated by</ref> a Motivation.
			When an Annotation is motivated by a Motivation, bodies might not be present (if the Motivation provides all the necessary information itself).
		</p>
		<p>
			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.
