The owl2 encoding of the file example at 
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/ontology/ProvenanceFormalModel.html#owl2-encoding-of-the-provenance-model

shows properties such as <cf:isGeneratedBy>.

I don't have access to the crimefile ontology, but I suppose it's domain specific.

While this may be good practice for owl ontology designers, the resulting RDF representation is not processable by an application that is not OWL aware.

I was hoping to see <po:isGeneratedBy> (and similarly for other relations) so that the resulting RDF is intelligible by applications that are not owl aware.

In my eyes, that's what we meant by 'lightweight ontology' at F2F1. It's more a lightweight vocabulary, than a full ontology with all bells and whistles.
