three-vs-two-levels
Shold we distinguish between things, entities and entity records in the semantics or just have entities and entity records
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- Formal Semantics
- Raised by:

- Description:
- Quoting from Luc's email that raised this issue:
>PROV-DM identifies three levels
> 1. things in the world
> 2. entities, which are characterized things
> 3. entity records, which are the records we create as part of a provenance record
>
> It seems that things are not mentioned in your document. I believe they are
> important to define specialization/alternates
A number of opinions about this were expressed today. I'm fairly agnostic - I think the formal semantics can accommodate either three levels (1/2/3) or two (conflating 1 and 2/3).
