Hi Jim I think to address Tim's issue we should just allow qualifiers to be Literal= s or Identifiers as defined by prov-dm.=20 Then one can use uris for roles without breaking compatibility with prov-DM Was that your suggestion ?=20 Cheers Paul On Nov 6, 2011, at 16:19, Jim McCusker <mccusj@rpi.edu> wrote: > Make Roles resources like Entities.
