Re: prov-dictionary

Hi Luc,

I've changed the abstract to:

> Provenance is information about entities, activities, and people involved
> in producing a piece of data or thing, which can be used to form
> assessments about its quality, reliability or trustworthiness. This
> document describes extensions to PROV to facilitate the modeling of
> provenance for dictionary data structures. [PROV-DM] specifies a
> Collection<http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/PR-prov-dm-20130312/Overview.html#component6>as an entity that provides a structure to some constituents, which are
> themselves entities. However, some applications may need a mechanism to
> specify more structure to a Collection, in order to accurately describe its
> provenance. Therefore, in this document, we introduce Dictionary, a
> specific type of Collection with a logical structure consisting of
> key-value pairs.
