I thought the whole idea was that PROV-DM/PROV-N defined a technology neutral model, and PROV-O was the RDF/OWL realization of that model.  For that to work, we have to know what are the precise correspondences.

Is it not "woven into the cross-reference" already?
http://aquarius.tw.rpi.edu/prov-wg/prov-o

There are 77 links from prov-o to DM in the cross reference (these are derived from the annotations within the OWL file itself)
