Re: PROV-ISSUE-95 (Recipes as Classes): Recipes as classes? [Conceptual Model]

Hi Jim,
this issue (http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/95) is still raised
against the ontology.
After the latest changes (plans are entities, that are related to an
Association), are you ok to close it?

Thanks,
Daniel
