Relation between dqv:qualityAssessment and Web Annotation motivations

Dear all,

Today I had a (live) discussion with Rob Sanderson, chair of the Web Annotation WG, about Action-208 [1] to see whether they would consider adding our dqv:qualityAssessment instance of oa:Motivation [2] in their centralized list of motivations [3].

Rob's answer is that for now it seems better for us to keep our motivation in our namespace.
 From the semantic perspective, dqv:qualityAssessment is related to oa:moderating that is defined as
[
The motivation for when the user intends to assign some value or quality to the Target. For example annotating an Annotation to moderate it up in a trust network or threaded discussion.
]

It is not clear however whether dqv:qualityassessment is a direct specialization of oa:moderating, though (ie. whether there should be a skos:broader between the two). There could be some DQV cases that don't fit...
So we agreed for the moment skos:closeMatch could be safer.

I've updated our DQV RDF file [4] trying to follow the WA recommendations for extending motivations [5].

We will probably have to re-examine the two aspect of the discussion (i.e. inclusion of our motivation in oa:, and relation between the two motivations) later in the new year.

I believe this would naturally happen when we come back to another WA motivation-related discussion [6].

Best,

Antoine
