Re: PROV-ISSUE-342 (location-of-usage): prov:location is an optional attribute of entity and activity - others okay? [prov-dm]

Hi Tim,

I don't think there has been suggestion that the location attribute applies to other classes. You are making a good case for usage and generation.

What else? Everything? Note sure this works for Quotation, OriginalSource, Attribution, Association, Responsibility ....
