RE: concept illustrations for the data journalism example

Hi Paul and all,

I think the example reads well to me, expressed in a sufficiently language-neural tone. Some of my not so constructed feedback below.

Are the processing steps aimed at reflecting what happened in the example? Currently these steps are not making explicit the publication of provenance. Is this what's meant to be? Do we need to have steps like:

* government (gov) publishes provenance of the RDF data (f1), including how the RDF data was transformed from data (d1), using which tool (tool1)
* government (gov) publishes provenance of the RDF data (f2), including how the RDF data was transformed from data (d1), using which tool (tool2), RDF data (f2) is a newer version of RDF data (f1), and tool (tool2) is a newer version of tool (t1)

To create charts, c1 or c2, are there some intermediate data created by the statistic tools? Or are we just ignoring them to simplify the example?

I don't know whether this is a /provenance/ question or not. But I am most curious to know: what has been corrected in C2, and what caused the error. 

Finally, this is a naive question of mine. The link [2] has mentioned "provenance concepts from the charter". I presume that you meant the list of concepts we got out in the incubator group's final report. I went to check the WG's charter page (http://www.w3.org/2011/01/prov-wg-charter). It didn't list out these concepts. I was only able to find them in the page of [3]. Is [3] also the official charter or just the proposed charter? IMO, I think it will look nice to see either this list of charter concepts properly mentioned in the official charter or something similar to make it more easier to trace.

cheers,

Jun

Hi Iker,

I updated the example to add the processing step as you originally
suggested.

Thanks,
Paul
