Clarify that TextualBody can be the source of a SpecificResource or target of Annotation #357

Closed azaroth42 closed 7 years ago

azaroth42 commented 7 years ago

Any rdfs:Resource can be the source of a SpecificResource, and a TextualBody is a Resource. The name implies that it must only be used as the object of hasBody, but that's just where it would typically be found, not the only place it can be found.

Use cases:

Associating a style with a TextualBody
Associating a renderer with a particular format of a TextualBody
An annotation on the Body to note a typo

Resolution: it is possible, but no reason to change anything in the document.
