Re: PROV-ISSUE-383 (how-to-handle-subtypes): How to handle subtypes in PROV-DM [prov-dm]

Hi Tim,

I think this would make sense.

I would put forward the following suggestion.

1. None of the mentioned subtypes should have reserved syntax in prov-n
2. All reserved subtypes should appear in the summary table
3. All reserved subtypes should appear in UML diagrams (marked with a
     stereotype and/or color) to distinguish them from our toplevel classes.
