Re: PROV-ISSUE-435: "specialized entity" in specialization definition [prov-dm]

Hi Jim, Tim,

Given that specialization is the name of the relation we are defining,
this may be confusing.

I would suggest two changes:

In the second sentence of the English definition:

In particular, the lifetime of the specialized entity contains that of 
any specialization
->
In particular, the lifetime of the entity being specialized  contains 
that of any specialization

and in the first bullet point

specific entity: an identifier (infra) of the specialized entity
->
specific entity: an identifier (infra) of the entity that is a 
specialization of the general entity (supra)


Thoughts?
Luc
