No, in Chicago we concluded that oa:annotatedAt and oa:serializedAt
can't both be subproperties of prov:generatedAtTime, as that would
imply that annotation and serialization is the same event. Doing it
formally, we are talking about two different entities, one that is the
concept of the annotation (the oa:Annotation, say
<annotation1.rdf#ann1>), which is oa:annotatedAt whenever it was
structurally formed.

Then there's the serialization, say <annotation1.rdf>, which might
have been made much later. The oa:serializedAt from oa:Annotation is a
shortcut to describe this entity from an oa:Annotation.  To avoid
confusion, neither was made subproperty of prov:generatedAtTime.

It is OK in PROV for an entity to be generated by multiple activities,
but the generation event is meant to be the same. (For instance
pushing a file to an SVN server and the more abstract "Publishing
file" can be two different activities, but they both must agree on
when that happened. So if we have two different timestamps this would
get a bit inconsistent.

Here the two activities can be thought of as the narrow "Making this
serialization" and a longer lived "Publishing the annotation".

I'm sorry, PAV did not have a proper HTML representation until this
upcoming 2.1.

http://pav-ontology.googlecode.com/svn/branches/2.1/pav.html is the
current draft in HTML form, based on
http://pav-ontology.googlecode.com/svn/branches/2.1/pav.owl is the
OWL.

Feedback welcome - but sooner rather than later! ;-)


I'm hoping to put this all on http://purl.org/pav after finalizing
some of the descriptions.

Any hints on how to do an XSLT transform or similar magic from the
RDF/XML to do some kind of redirect to an HTML page are welcome; as
purl.org does not do content negotiation.
