ISSUE-74: Consider renaming target-uri as context-uri to be consistent with RFC 5988

Consider renaming target-uri as context-uri to be consistent with RFC 5988

State:

CLOSED

Product:

Accessing and Querying Provenance

Raised by:

Yogesh Simmhan

Opened on:

2011-08-11

Description:

RFC 5988 uses the term Target IRI [1] to refer to the target link being described. We are using it in Section 3.1 of the PAQ [2] to refer to the provenance URI. However, we are using the term target-uri to refer to the entity that is described by the provenance URI. This is called to Context IRI by the RFC.

To avoid overloading the term "target" and keeping consistency with the RFC, we should rename target-uri as context-uri in the PAQ.
