Hi James,

In your semantics document you ask the question:

- Should we have two levels (things/entities vs. records) or three 
levels (things vs. entities vs. records)?

I just wanted to get clarity on your stance. I think it is that we have 
three levels but that for the purposes of the describing provenance we 
only discuss entities and records? Essentially, we are interested in 
describing the surrogates (i.e. entities) for "real world" objects.

Is that correct?

thanks,
Paul
