Re: The wasQuotedFrom relationship

I think SGML is a lot more complicated than prov. FOAF is pretty generic
and it got used. Look at schema.org.

I think providing common names for people to point at is underrated.

@Stian - BTW, i think it's already showing its worth in our own little neck
of the woods. I was as at a meeting friday and by using PROV we thought of
nice ways of querying over taverna provenance + nanopublications. Questions
like find me all the protein-protein interactions produced by a workflow
made by Stian.
