Depends if it is part of the same provenance account or not.. I did it
like this (self-describing):
# This document is the provenance container (or is that prov:Account ?)
<> a prov:ProvenanceContainer ;
prov:wasGeneratedBy [
# Metadata about who generated the provenance container
a prov:ProcessExecution, wf:ProvenanceExport ;
prov:used :workflowRun ;
prov:wasControlledBy :workflowEngine
] .
Anyone else asserting something about this provenance container will
have to refer to its URI in a different resource/graph/provenance
container.
