Re: PROV-ISSUE-352 (rename-WasQuotedFrom): A better name for wasQuotedFrom [prov-dm]

Hi Daniel,

This is the current definition of quotation. Is there still a concern 
with it?

Cheers,
Luc

4.3.3 Quotation

A quotation is the repeat of (some or all of) an entity, such as text or 
image, by someone other than its original author.

Quotation is a particular case of derivation in which entity e2 is 
derived from an original entity e1 by copying, or "quoting", some or all 
of it. A quotation relation, written 
wasQuotedFrom(id,e2,e1,ag2,ag1,attrs) in PROV-N, has:

id: an optional identifier for the relation;
quote: an identifier (e2) for the entity that represents the quote (the 
partial copy);
original: an identifier (e1) for the original entity being quoted;
quoterAgent: an optional identifier (ag2) for the agent who performs the 
quote;
originalAgent: an optional identifier (ag1) for the agent to whom the 
original entity is attributed;
attributes: an optional set (attrs) of attribute-value pairs 
representing additional information about this relation.
