It would be good to see the domain and range of the inverse here - is
that possible? (ie. the range and domain of the PROV-O property)


Can the list be sorted by original name? The current order seems random.


We also agreed that the inverses will appear in a separate OWL file.

Here are some notes I had myself while making up those names:

For the inverse of qualified* I've followed a similar noun pattern as
for prov:activity etc:

prov:qualifiedDerivation prov:derivedEntity


For many of them a suitable noun was there, but for others it got a
bit odd, like on Quotation properties:

* prov:hadQuoter prov:wasQuotingIn
* prov:hadQuoted prov:wasQuotedIn

Both original and inverse look VERY similar, and confused me several
times.  Not sure about 'In' - as the inverses here point back to the
Quotation - not the entity.


* prov:wasAssociatedWith prov:wasAssociateFor

Is the agent an associate? This is really a DM issue, I am not sure
about the direction here of the original - to me
prov:wasAssociatedWith sounds like an active, conscious thing -
something an agent does rather than something an activity does.


* prov:activityStartedActivity
horrible name - but prov:startedActivity is taken! At least matches style of:

* prov:wasStartedByActivity prov:activityStarted
