Re: Contextualization ---> Optional bundle in Specialization

Hi,

I am happy with renaming contextualization to something less controversial, but renaming it to specialization seems (to me) confusing, unless it's clear that the semantics of the two variants are compatible.

Do we have a name for the "top level" bundle in PROV (i.e., the anonymous bundle that contains the toplevel expressions), and supposing we do, is 

specializationOf(e1,e2) 

equivalent to

specializationOf(e1,e2,toplevelBundle)

?
