It reduces the need for PROV-O properties that will not be commonly used, while still being representable with existing, more fundamental constructs (wasAttributedTo and it's qualified form Attribution with Roles) Making this change would allow us to eliminate the outlying PROV-O properties: * prov:hadQuoter * prov:hadQuoted * prov:wasAttributedBy -Tim >> >> >> Instead of >> wasQuotedFrom(id,e2,e1,ag2,ag1,attrs) >> we should write: >> wasQuotedFrom(id,e2,e1,attrs) >> and wasAttributedTo(e1,ag1) >> and wasAttributedTo(e2,ag2) >> >> >> >> We are not losing in expressivity, I believe, instead, we decouple components 2 and 3 in the data model. >> >> Furthermore, if we allow optional arguments in derivations, >> wasDerivedFrom(id, e2, e1, a, g2, u1, attrs) >> they should also be allowed in quotation/original source/revision, to >> make these proper subrelations. >> >> Cheers, >> Luc
