Dear Robert Thank you for your comment. Below is the suggested resolution. You can find any suggested changes in the latest editor's draft at http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/prov-dm.html Thanks, Paul ISSUE-532 (Role) "Role should be allowed for delegation so the relationship between the delegate and the responsible entity can be specified." Original email: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-prov-wg/2012Sep/0122.html Tracker: http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/532 Group Response - The Working Group has given careful consideration to roles in PROV. We considered allowing roles in all relations. A problem with such a permissive approach is that it is not clear who is playing the role. For instance, if a role is added to delegation, which agent is assuming that role: the delegate or the responsible? - For the example of delegation, the group suggests using the attribute "prov:type" if a subtype of the relation needs to be specified, e.g. contractual delegation.
