Re: PROV-ISSUE-7 (define-derivation): Definition for Concept 'Derivation' [Provenance Terminology]

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the quote ;-)

Paulo, during the life of the Incubator, repeatedly criticized the 
notion of "causal relationship".
In what way is this causal?  It's a bit like using the term "influence" 
discussed earlier.

Regards,
Luc
