ISSUE-151: Rename wasQuoteOf to wasQuotedFrom

Rename wasQuoteOf to wasQuotedFrom
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- prov-dm
- Raised by:
- Timothy Lebo

- Description:
- After trying to model a few quotes, I continue to get hung up by "wasQuoteOf" and find "wasQuotedFrom" to be a more natural relation that clears some ambiguity about whether we are quoting some {web page, book, pamphlet} or the person that created the {web page, book, pamphlet}. According to the DM, I think it is the {web page, book, pamphlet} and depend on a qualifier to cite the person responsible.
When encoding in PROV-O,
:snippet prov:wasQuoteOf :web_page . (correct)
:snippet prov:wasQuoteOf <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi> (INCORRECT - we should not cite the person.)
using "wasQuotedFrom" would help avoid this confusion:
:snippet prov:wasQuotedFrom :web_page . (correct)
:snippet prov:wasQuotedFrom <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi> . (correct - this is a wiki page)
