Re: PROV-ISSUE-557: why collectionMemberOf instead of hadMember? [XML Serialization]

Hi Stephan
HadMember in prov-dm does not have a complete flag, nor an Id.
http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-dm/#dfn-hadmember

Should this become:

   <xs:complexType name="Membership">
     <xs:sequence>
       <xs:element name="collection" type="prov:EntityRef"/>
       <xs:element name="entity"          type="prov:EntityRef" 
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
     </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>


Also, do we allow multiple entities?

Finally, should this be HadMember rather than Membership like the other 
relations?
