Re: PROV-ISSUE-383 (how-to-handle-subtypes): How to handle subtypes in PROV-DM [prov-dm]

That's not the way it works currently.

You have to write entity(ex:pl,[prov:type='proc:Plan'])

The rationale is that in PRoV, plans carry no special semantics beyond being entities. There are no constraints for plans, for instance.
