Maybe, but I'm not aware of the full context, so ignore me if this doesn't make sense. file:// URIs are interpreted with respect to a specific host environment (commonly localhost, but can be named). While it's possible to separately a denotation, I think it could prove tricky to use this in a global reasoning environment. So, if the example is strictly local-use then file://... might be OK, but if the idea is to create provenance that can be shipped across the web I'd suggest avoiding file:// URIs. (This reminds me that there's a proposal for a ni: URI scheme that identifies by way of cryptographic hash, which might be useful for some aspects of provenance ... http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/81/slides/decade-3.pdf, http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-farrell-decade-ni-04) #g -- > Jim > > On Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 1:44 PM, Paul Groth<p.t.groth@vu.nl> wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> I've place my example at >> http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/Eg-27-small-command-line >> >> Essentially, we have the name of a zip file that is associated with an >> Entity.
