Re: PROV-ISSUE-352 (rename-WasQuotedFrom): A better name for wasQuotedFrom [prov-dm]

Hi Daniel,
Can you remind us what the problem is with the current name and how the proposed name addresses it?
Thanks

Hi all,
It seemed like there was not enough consensus in the telecon past thursday about the last proposal.
If I remember correctly, Tim and Jun voted -1 for prov:wasAQuoteFrom.

So far, there have been the next proposals:

  *   quoted: there was no consensus because it could imply an agent instead of an entity.
  *   wasQuoteOf: we started with this definition, and moved away because it was confusing.
  *   hadQuoteFrom: there was no consensus because it could imply that the quotation is partial.
  *   wasAQuoteFrom: there was no consensus because "if it was a quote, then what is it now"?
  *   isAQuoteFrom/isQuoteFrom: there has been no votes on this one, but it goes against having everything
in past tense.
  *   wasQuotedFrom: the current name and the only one I have concerns about, because
the directionality of the property is not clear enough.

Just a small remark: the issue is about the name of the property. The definition on DM is very clear.

During today's prov-o telecon Tim said that he proposed to move away from wasQuoteOf in order
to have something similar to wasDerivedFrom. I would be happy to go back to wasQuoteOf if there
is no other suggestion.

Thoughts, Jun, Tim?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Luc,
I still think that the name could be improved because the current one is confusing.

My last proposal ("wasAQuoteFrom") got a +1 from Stian and Paul
(although he said he would think of a better name). Nobody else said anything,
so maybe we should ask the rest of the group on thursday?

Best,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I don't believe there was consensus to change the name of the relation as you suggested.
We also have removed agents from this definition. Definition of quote/original attributes
are as follows:



quote: an identifier (e2) for the entity that represents the quote (the partial copy);
original: an identifier (e1) for the original entity being quoted;

Can we close this issue?
Cheers,
Luc

PROV-ISSUE-352 (rename-WasQuotedFrom): A better name for wasQuotedFrom [prov-dm]

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/352

Raised by: Daniel Garijo
On product: prov-dm

Currently, the DM says:
A quotation record, written wasQuotedFrom(e2,e1,ag2,ag1,attrs) in PROV-ASN, contains:
    quote: an identifier e2, identifying an entity record that represents the quote;
    quoted: an identifier e1, identifying an entity record representing what is being quoted;
...

However, if we say that e2 wasQuotedFrom e1 it may look like entity e1 is the one quoting e2 (since we are saying that e2 was quoted).

I think it would be more clear if we rename the property with e2 wasQuoteOf e1, or e2 hadQuoteFrom e1.

Thoughts?
Thanks,
Daniel
