Subject: PROV-ISSUE-1: a proposal to vote on

 


Dear all,

You will recall we failed to reach consensus on the following proposal
at the last teleconference:
 "in a first instance, to define the necessary concepts that allow us to
express the provenance 
of a thing that does not change".  Kai, Jim and Satya then expressed
concerns, which can be 
summarized as, this proposal provides no route to handle mutable things.

After a long email discussion with them over the WE, we have converged
towards a better
proposal:

In a first instance, to define the necessary concepts that allow us to
express the provenance of 
an invariant view or perspective on a thing.

What is important to note is that it is the view/perspective that does
not change, the thing
itself can be mutable.

To allow us to progress, can you express by +1/-1/0 your support for
this proposal?

Best regards,
Luc
