PROV-ISSUE-151 (TLebo): Rename wasQuoteOf to wasQuotedFrom [Data Model]
http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/151
Raised by: Timothy Lebo
On product: Data Model
After trying to model a few quotes, I continue to get hung up by "wasQuoteOf" and find "wasQuotedFrom" to be a more natural relation that clears some ambiguity about whether we are quoting some {web page, book, pamphlet} or the person that created the {web page, book, pamphlet}. According to the DM, I think it is the {web page, book, pamphlet} and depend on a qualifier to cite the person responsible.
When encoding in PROV-O,
:snippet prov:wasQuoteOf :web_page . (correct)
:snippet prov:wasQuoteOf <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi> (INCORRECT - we should not cite the person.)
using "wasQuotedFrom" would help avoid this confusion:
:snippet prov:wasQuotedFrom :web_page . (correct)
:snippet prov:wasQuotedFrom <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi> . (correct - this is a wiki page)
http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-prov-dm-20111018/#quotation:
wasQuoteOf(e2,e1,ag2,ag1):
contains an identifier e2, identifying an entity expression that represents the quote;
contains an identifier e1, identifying an entity expression representing what is being quoted;
may refer to an agent who is doing the quoting, identified by ag2;
may refer to the agent that is quoted, identified by ag1.
