Reviewing outstanding issues on PAQ document.

I've just gone through the outstanding issues on the PAQ document 
(http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/products/5), with links and brief summaries 
below.

In particular, if I don't hear any objections, I propose to close the following 
later today (this isn't irrevocable, but it does effectively remove the issues 
from active consideration by the editors):

<propose to close>

There follows a very brief summary of how I perceive each of the outstanding 
issues.  The general situation is that I'm waiting for some conclusion to the 
discussions around the model document about "Entities", assertions, things, etc.

========

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/54
which-provenance-is-expected-to-be-retrieved

Awaiting clarification of things vs entities vs assertions discussion before 
adding new subsection to introduction explaining how these relate to access and 
query.

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/68
http-link-domain

Loosely related to issue 54.

Awaiting clarification of things vs entities vs assertions discussion before 
adding new subsection to introduction explaining how these relate to access and 
query.

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/38

Propose to close

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/46

Propose to close  (precise name and form of "anchor" link still under discussion 
- cf. issue 54, etc.)

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/52

Propose to close

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/53

Propose to close

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/55

Propose to close

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/74

Propose to close (but note that, in responding to issue 54, this topic may get 
revisited)

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/73
Use "anchor" context URI instead of introducing a "target" relationship in HTTP

Awaiting dust to settler in other areas, issue 54, etc.

provenance-service-and-provenance-uri

Propose to close.

...

xml-examples

Document has been reorganized per discussions, but still only placeholders for 
XML examples.

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/77
paq-terminology

I think most of the issues have been addressed, but we're still awaiting for a 
consensus ruling on use of the term "context".  I also think this is bound up 
with my proposed approach to add a new subsection to the introduction explaining 
how the PAQ interacts with the various provenance concepts (cf. issue 54), hence 
still awaiting clarification of model concepts.

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/78
contexts-and-provenance-uris

I think this is bound up with issue 54, and awaiting dust to settle on model 
concepts.

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/79
provenance-uri-contract

This is very much bound up with discussions about the provenance model.  Waiting 
for dust to settle.

...

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/80
about-provenance-template

Propose to close (no change to document).
