Re: PROV-ISSUE-142 (Tlebo): Can roles only be Literals? [Data Model]

Hi Jim,
presidentRole involves leaderRole?
I was going to say act_as, but we are relating the roles, not the people
who play them.

Also, if you want to create hierarchies of Roles, an alternative modeling
could be
to create President and Leader as a subclasses of role and then link an
instance
of those classes to Barack Obama.

Thanks,
