Pattern for defining records

Guidance is necessary fromt the WG on what records should look like. Choice between:

1. Do we adopt a common pattern for all elements and relations? 2. Do we 'customize' relations according to use cases we have encountered (which would mean, potentially, dropping attributes/ids for hasAnnotation/alternatedOf)
