Re: Roles (was: Testing the ontology for expressing workflow provenance)

Hi Simon and Stian,

It's a good example.  Our focus is on exchanging provenance
between systems in an inter-operable manner.

mywf:usedValue requires knowledge of a domain specific ontology.

I see  here the benefit of a role (I guess role type) as an encoding
of that specialisation of use.
