WG3 attestation and citation (from Linked Pasts 6) #3

There was some desire to refactor or at least better document the SNAP recommendation on encoding attestations (link to primary source mentioning person) and citations (bibliographic or other pointers to such source). The current guidance suggests:

<person-URI> --> lawd:hasAttestation --> <record-or-page-URI> --> lawd:hasCitation --> <citation-URI> --> cnt:ContentAsText --> text string

Which both seems complex and potentially confusing, and comes up against the problem that 99% of projects won't have separate URIs for the three entities required by this model. There is also potential confusion between primary and secondary sources.
