Here are some examples I found on Sindice of using dct:isVersionOf in the style of prov:specializationOf: http://sindice.com/search?q=&nq=(*%20%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Fdc%2Fterms%2FisVersionOf%3E%20*)&fq=&interface=advanced <http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows/154/versions/11> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/isVersionOf> <http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows/154> . <http://www.gyldendal.no/toraage/gullhjelmen/gullhjelmen 1.html> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/isVersionOf> <http://www.akerbaek.no/dramatispersonae/act/bringsværd/gullhjelmen1> . <http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/obo/hao.owl#HAO_0000000> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/isVersionOf> <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HAO_000000> . I would argue none of these are prov:wasRevisionOf http://www.legislation.gov.uk/developer/formats/rdf says: A rdfs:isDefinedBy link points from the item of legislation to the latest version of the legislation. The latest version has a dct:hasVersion pointer to the particular versioned (and dated) document, which reciprocates with a dct:isVersionOf property. <frbr:Expression rdf:about="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1985/67/sld/2003-04-01"> <dct:isVersionOf rdf:resource="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1985/67" /> </frbr:Expression> So here it is used in a FRBR way to do hierarchical prov:specializationOf. >From this I would still keep my blocking issue, make prov:wasRevisionOf a subproperty of dct:isVersionOf. You could argue that dct:isVersionOf should be a subproperty of prov:specializationOf; but I would not go there as that would only apply to cases like the above where dct:isVersionOf has been used "proper". -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, myGrid team School of Computer Science The University of Manchester
