Re: PROV-ISSUE-72 (DGarijo): Uses should be renamed as used [Formal Model]

+1 for "used", for the reasons you give.

-1 for "isUsedBy". All other relations in the model link effect/later
occurrence to cause/earlier occurrence, so "isUsedBy" would be
inconsistent. This means that provenance graphs would not consistently
point back into the past of the thing we're seeing the provenance of,
and would be confusing to iteratively navigate.

Thanks,
Simon
