Re: PROV-ISSUE-142 (Tlebo): Can roles only be Literals? [Data Model]

Hi Tim, but also Graham, and the prov-o team,

We believe that we have addressed this issue. The latest WD indicates 
that URI can be expressed
using *prov-dm literal* but their interpretation is outside the scope of 
prov-dm.

We are closing the issue, pending review. Can you confirm it can be 
formally closed,

Regards,
Luc
