Re: PROV-ISSUE-45: isDerivedFrom and IVPof are transitive. [Conceptual Model]

Hi Paolo,

I don't think that we agreed within the working group that derivation is 
transitive. The point I was trying to make is that it would be good if 
we specify the characteristics of the relationships defined in the model.

I may, wrongly, assumed that the transitivity of derivation is trivial. 
I guess we will at some point discuss this in one of the telecons.

Thanks, khalid
