What do you suggest? Before a glossary definition I could put some boiler plate text such as "From PROV-DM:" and then a similar sentence after Figure 1. The introduction was copied from PROV-DM because I felt the general statements were appropriate for PROV-XML and because it provided an introduction to PROV-DM and the PROV-DM component structure which are both referenced frequently in the PROV-XML Note. Do you feel it necessary to explicitly call out the PROV-XML intro as being derived from the PROV-DM intro? > > > 6 Can table 1 contain links to xml schema definitions?
