Hi Yolanda, all If someone has some simple examples for the prov-dm document, could they post it?

The fact that a file being read is a ProcessExecution seems to me to be a very contrived example (I don't think we've ever discussed a provenance scenario where file reading was considered, because there are other more pressing processes to represent). > > Another case: if evt1, evt2, etc are timestamps, why not label them t1, t2, etc so they don't have a label that makes them look like events? > > Another case: Somewhere it mentions "spellchecked" as an attribute, if so we should really show how the spellchecker program plays a role in the provenance record so this attribute becomes so. > > Another case: all the examples of agents are people, but agents can be other things (eg the Royal Society that is used in another section). > > > > > > -- Professor Luc Moreau Electronics and Computer Science tel: +44 23 8059 4487 University of Southampton fax: +44 23 8059 2865 Southampton SO17 1BJ email: l.moreau@ecs.soton.ac.uk United Kingdom http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~lavm
