Re: PROV-ISSUE-383 (how-to-handle-subtypes): How to handle subtypes in PROV-DM [prov-dm]

Luc,

I thinking adding:

prov:SoftwareAgent         no           no        no
prov:Organization          no           no        no
prov:Person                no           no        no

in non-bold would make sense, if one is inclined to add them.


That leaves
EmptyDictionary, which also seems reasonable (unbolded like the rest).

Regards,
Tim
