Re: PROV-ISSUE-90 (namespace-in-ontology): Namespace used in ontology [Formal Model]

I agree absolutely here. I would like to see one URL for the major 
concepts in the data model. It's weird to have two "official" urls.

I wonder how we can do this?

Can we not just have /ns/prov ?

cheers,
Paul

(There may be some additional "glue" URIs in the ontology, but I'd expect everything (or almost everything) identified as part of the DM to be formally described in the ontology.)
