Re: PROV-ISSUE-96 (entities and roles): Relating Roled Entities with non-Roled Entities [Conceptual Model]

Hi Jim,

Since we talk about prov-dm here, I am not sure I am following you with 
this notion of role with specialization.

Currently, the prov:role attribute is defined as follows
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/ProvenanceModel.html#dfn-role

This definition suggests only one form of role.
