I'm not sure what counts as "released", but the project reported in [1] uses cnt via its sister "Http in RDF"[2]. They appear to use it in a fashion rather consistently with a remark in the closing of an issue [3] in PROV declining to make it part of PROV itself [1] Thomas Steiner et al. "Adding Meaning to Facebook Microposts via a Mash-up API and Tracking Its Data Provenance" http://bit.ly/UQAziR [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/HTTP-in-RDF10/ [3] ISSUE-171: HTTP in RDF http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/171 Bob Morris On Sun, Feb 3, 2013 at 5:58 PM, Antoine Isaac <aisaac@few.vu.nl> wrote: > Dear Bob, all > > After a lot of time I could finally react to your (some very interesting) > comments. > > By the way there's one thing that may be more efficient over email: has > anyone seen any data released, using the Content as text model?
