Re: hadMember and wasInfluencedBy

Hi,

Good, that's what I thought but I could not find an issue discussing this.  I just found the discussion you refer to:

http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/meeting/2012-07-12#Collection_membership  

The related resolution about hadMember is a little ambiguous, but it seems clear from context that the intent was that hadMember not be considered a type of influence.  Following Ivan's response, I guess this means a short erratum for prov-o (and maybe a fix to the actual owl file)?
