Absolutely.

Would the one triple

:e1 prov:wasComplementOf :e2 .

work? This would stand independent of what account the entities are in -- which gets to the point I was making that the asserter needs to make distinct URIs and not depend on some account-based scoping mechanism to establish its identity.

Perhaps I am misinterpreting DM again from a "too RDF" perspective like the literal versus URI discussions earlier today.

Best,
Tim
