Re: ISSUE-385: hasProvenanceIn: finding a solution

(since identifiers are getting confusing, I'm rewriting my email and reorganizing the order of examples from top to bottom).

Luc/DM's prov-n:

would get encoded in prov-o as:

read "tool:Bob1 in tool:analysis01 is a specialization of the thing with identifier ex:Bob over in bundle ex:run1".

would get re-encoded to prov-n as:

>> contextualizationOf(anonymous, ex:Bob, ex:run1)
>> alternateOf(tool:Bob1,  anonymous )
