PROV-ISSUE-539: Notation Section 3, EBNF format [prov-n]
http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/539
Raised by: Paolo Missier
On product: prov-n
The EBNF forms of each expression are helpful, but they are not easily human-readable. Line breaks between attributes would help distinguish the groupings tremendously (this is especially important when trying to determine which terms are optional, as visually identifying matched pairs of parentheses within a long statement can be challenging). Compare:
generationExpression ::= 'wasGeneratedBy' '(' (( identifier | '-' ) ',' ) ? eIdentifier ',' ( aIdentifier | '-' ) ',' ( time | '-' ) optional-attribute-values ')'
generationExpression ::= 'wasGeneratedBy' '('
(( identifier | '-' ) ',' ) ?
eIdentifier ','
( aIdentifier | '-' ) ','
( time | '-' )
optional-attribute-values ')'
