Re: Link relations between revisions of documents

Hi Austin,

If I have been working for long hours today so forgive me if I
misunderstood your question, but I think PROV [1] ontology can help to
solve your problem. You can utilize the "invalidated" property for outdated
documents I believe, to make a distinction.
