Re: Provenance specs: have we lost sight of the goal?

Wouldn't the expanded terms & qualifications be "buried" in the document
if they are after a cross reference terms section?

I am a bit concerned about people just reaching that section and thinking
that that is all.
On the other hand, the proposed reordering could guide people with simple
requirements
to use the model according to their needs. Hmmm.

I think we could try it and see what is the feedback we get. Maybe a FAQ or
usage guidelines
would help to use the ontology.

Best,
Daniel
