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

Hi Luc,
the definition on DM is very clear to me.

What makes me feel a bit unconfortable is that while I can understand what
is on the domain
and what is on the range on each of the other properties, for this one I
think it is a bit confusing.
(When I say domain and range, I refer to what is being quoted (original)
and what is the quote).

I have asked 3 colleagues in my lab to tell me what did they think they
were the range and the domain
of the property with an example, (without looking at the definition of the
DM). One of them agreed with the DM,
another one guessed wrong and the last one encouraged me to change the
naming because "it made
no much sense" to him.

I'm not sure if users that assert scruffy provenance will come to the DM to
read all the definitions,
and that is why to make sure this kind of things are very clear for
everyone. Thus, I don't propose
to change the definitions, I just suggest to rename "wasQuotedFrom" to
either:
"wasQuoteOf" or "hadQuoteFrom".

Thanks,
Daniel
